Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

What disqualifies you from filing bankruptcies?

As a result, concealing assets, making fraudulent transfers within one year of filing, destroying financial records or lying on bankruptcy forms will typically disqualify your case and could potentially result in criminal charges.

What is Section 101 of the bankruptcy code?

The term accountant means accountant authorized under applicable law to practice public accounting, and includes professional accounting association, corporation, or partnership, if so authorized.

How much do you have to be in debt to file Chapter 7?

There is no minimum amount of debt required to file for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. However, many bankruptcy attorneys advise against filing for bankruptcy if you have less than $10,000 in dischargeable debt because the legal fees and filing costs could outweigh any potential benefits of filing.

Which bankruptcy clears all debt?

Most bankruptcy filers dont have to attend any formal court proceedings before a judge. There are some rare exceptions to this, but most of the time youll only go to court to file your paperwork with the clerk.

Why are bankruptcies denied?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be denied if the filer exceeds the debt limits, has insufficient income to sustain the repayment plan, or fails to meet the courts filing requirements. If debts are too high, the court may rule the filer ineligible.
