Bankruptcy petition preparers may only type bankruptcy documents and must only charge a reasonable fee. A bankruptcy petition preparer may not sign any bankruptcy document on your behalf. As the debtor, you must personally sign the bankruptcy documents.
A bankruptcy petition can also be presented by either the debtor or, if the debtor has already made a voluntary arrangement to deal with the debt, by the supervisor of this arrangement.
There are two types of bankruptcy petition preparers, one being an attorney or paralegal, and another being a non-attorney. The only difference between the two is that attorneys and paralegals have to pass a test in order to become qualified as well as have legal experience working in this field.
Individuals can petition for bankruptcy without the assistance of an attorney, a process known as pro se bankruptcy. However, because bankruptcy has long-term financial and legal consequences, it is strongly advised that you seek the opinion of a knowledgeable attorney.
Why Banks Are Not Allowed in Bankruptcy. Unlike most other countries, the United States uses different procedures to resolve insolvent banks and non-bank firms. When non-bank firms file for bankruptcy, the Bankruptcy Code divides control among the various claimants and a judge supervises the resolution process.
