Usually the last resort that people will take is filing for bankruptcy. The sad conclusion that there are no other options usually arrives when creditors begin to lose their patience, and the payment schemes that you have offered begin to fail. Usually under the weight of punitive interest that your creditors apply. Once the decision has been made to file for bankruptcy, then you should begin to prepare yourself before going to bankruptcy court, and have your facts and figures as ready as possible. You should go there armed with the knowledge that not all your debts can be discharged through bankruptcy. In fact many of these debts will continue to be cleared off long after your bankruptcy has been discharged.
A typical example is the debtors responsibility to pay either alimony or child support. Bankruptcy court does not view lightly the failure to meet these commitments, and the most stringent of collections methods will be applied to ensure that fact. The bankruptcy abuse prevention and consumer protection act was drawn up especially, more or less to prevent such devious acts from taking place Continue reading »

Important aspects of Bankruptcy Law that you should be aware of before filing for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy law is being constantly updated, and each time the courts review the situation, they succeed in recognizing and closing another loophole. Lawyers acting for individuals and companies who have declared bankruptcy, either chapter seven or chapter thirteen, have to protect the interest of their clients against the courts and their creditors. However the courts have come up with some new variations which make it very hard to skip around a simple fact. The fact is that the responsibility of courts regarding bankruptcy law is to protect the debtor from their creditors as well as protecting the creditors against any illegal act that will disallow the creditors from receiving as high a percentage of the funds owed to them.
Nowadays every personal bankrupt has to undergo a form of means test. Anyone undergoing this test under bankruptcy law must declare all forms of income as well as all personal expenses, which must be agreed by the court. There are strict criteria set out, that are not particularly generous. Any balance between earnings and expenses must be passed on to the creditors. Continue reading »

Bankruptcy and Student Loans can be a very bad mix.
Imagine that you have just completed your studies and you are about to face the world at large as a qualified professional in whatever field you have chosen to make your career. Possibly as a student, you were unable to finance your studies by working, or your family was unable to help you out too much. You were tempted by the student loans that seemed so readily available at that time. As you set out on adult life, possibly married with a mortgage and children, you are now finding these loans a real burden and your financial affairs are in a mess. There are some people in your position who have considered filing for bankruptcy protection. However the bad news is that since legislation passed in 1998, loans taken by students were found to be non-dischargeable. The reason for this is that the government agencies who had underwritten many of these loans had to write off so many of them due to bad debt.
Former students who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy now have to rigorously prove that they will be caused severe financial hardship if they have to repay these loans. Many students had discovered a loophole that if they applied for bankruptcy when they had no assets, then the courts were unable to do anything to collect their cash. In those cases, the courts would write off a proportion of the debt and give the erring student a very protracted time to repay the balance. Public bodies are finding that bankruptcy and student loans seem to go hand in hand, and they are much warier of taking on this form of finance.
Former students are rapidly discovering that Chapter 13 bankruptcy applies to them as to any other person, and they have as much of a legal obligation to repay their debts as the next person. Many people who find themselves in this situation are encouraged to sign a form of trust deed by the court. The courts will draw up the deed based on the debtor’s ability to repay their debts, preferably in a period of less than five years. To satisfy the court in this instance of bankruptcy and student loans, the debtor must show that they will be capable of establishing sufficient income during the period decided, whilst maintaining a reasonable lifestyle.
