Here are some of the frequently asked bankruptcy questions that I hear in the office several times a month:

1) Will my credit be permanently ruined?

Probably not! Most clients find that their credit score recovers quickly and it’s not uncommon to have a credit score of 600 or more within 12 months of filing your case.

2) Will I ever be able to get a credit card again?

Most likely! In most cases you will be eligible for new credit cards immediately.

3) Will I ever be able to buy a house again?

Most likely! Many clients are able to get bank home-loans within 2 years and 90 days of the date that the bankruptcy case is discharged.

4) Should I file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

This is a question that can really only be answered on an individual case basis. I recommend that you call our office for a no obligation consultation so that we can discuss the best way for you to proceed.
