Filing Steps Related to Chapter Seven Bankruptcy Protection

Written by Adam Peck Category: Nursing Homes January 23rd, 2013 2 min read

You must have heard many saying “When you are drowned in debt file for bankruptcy” from the mouths of people who may be least aware of the intricacies of bankruptcy. Filing chapter 7 bankruptcy seems to be very famous among the debtors just because upon approval by the bankruptcy court it gives instantaneous discharge from most of the unsecured debts.

Filing chapter 7 bankruptcy is not as easy as it seems to be. The chapter 7 bankruptcy laws prevail over the process of filing and the final approval of bankruptcy. One may find these laws to be complex but with the professional help of companies like www.bankruptcyonly.com, the procedure of filing can be made much easier.

The first step is compiling the chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. This step is about collection and submission of all the necessary documents needed to justify that the applicant is now incapable of servicing any debt. This first step is very crucial because the documents submitted have to be genuine and at the same time in a prescribed format. Any mistake while filling the application form or a bit of mistake at furnishing the document could lead to rejection of the petition. All the actions like wage garnishment and collection calls made by the creditor or lender come to a stop. Usually on the 15th day the creditors or lenders are informed about this. Usually between the 20th day and the 40th day the bankruptcy court calls a meeting of the creditors and the debtor has to invariably be present at this meeting. After this comes the step of the trustee liquidating the non exempted property to pay to the creditors or lenders.
