Bankruptcy InformationTo Help You Decide

melissa_53105 asked:


I am seriously considering filing bankruptcy, but I have student loans out through Sallie Mae. No one seems to know if a bankruptcy will also include those, or if I would still be stuck with them? Does anyone here know how that works? Thanks in advance!
In RE to the 5th answer…up yours. I was given false info by the college I was going thru, only got to do like 6 classes altogether, and then was informed that my aide didn’t cover what they originally said. If I had the money, I would sooo pay it off and continue with my education, but I don’t so I’m looking for a way to resolve stuff. It doesn’t make me despicable at all.

I hate it this situation: If I need help and I have lots of questions about my situation and no one can answer them. This is very frustrating and I’m sure you can understand that.

Well if you have answers regarding bankruptcy, you have come to the right place because in this article I am going to have answers to frequently asked questions about bankruptcy.

So, read on and you will find out more about bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can affect you personally now and even years later but if you have the right knowledge you may be able to reverse the situation. So, here are the questions:

1) What is bankruptcy and how does this happen?

Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability or impairment of ability of an individual or organizations to pay their creditors. This happens when creditors file a bankruptcy petition against a debtor in effort to recoup a portion of what they are owed. In majority of cases, however, bankruptcy is initiated by the debtor.

2) What are the effects of bankruptcy?

Once you are made a bankrupt, all assets belonging to you come under control of the Trustee, including your home. The other main disadvantages of bankruptcy are the constraints forced upon the bankrupt and the stigma of having to declare oneself as a bankrupt for certain transactions.

3) How long does bankruptcy last?

A bankrupt may be discharged after a year. But discharge may not be automatic and can be delayed by court order. On top of that, the discharge may not free a person from liabilities. It also does not mean that your unrealized assets can be protected.

4) Any backruptcy alternatives?

Basically, there are four main ways in which you can avoid bankruptcy. They are:

- Take no action

- Self money management

- Negotiate with creditors

- Debt consolidation

5) Are there any other options in which I can settle debts?

You can also consider other options if there is a need to:

- Selling your assets

- Working more

- Reorganizing your debts

- Getting help from a bankruptcy attorney

6) What is a bankruptcy attorney?

A bankruptcy attorney specializes in bankruptcy law and provides legal methods for an individual or commercial enterprise or business to either wipe out debts by liquidating assets and distributing them among creditors or resolve them by developing a court-approved reorganization plan, or other plan involving the repayment of creditors over time.

There you have it. All your questions answered. Now you can have more confidence in dealing with your debts and how you can avoid and deal with bankruptcy. So you don’t have to worry about having your questions not answered.

I may have to file bankruptcy and my credit application has an overstatement of assets. There was no fraud intended and I do have net assets of the amount stated. However, there is no date on the application. Can it be thrown out?
