You are running away from creditors, not able to get the bank to give you any loan, credit card companies have debarred your card, bills are piling up and you haven't paid utility bills for the past three months because you have lost your job. Sounds familiar? Well let us tell you about the law that can probably of use to you in such cases.
You can declare yourself bankrupt under the provisions of the Federal Law and thereby get legal relief from having to pay and clear your liabilities. Even organizations can file for bankruptcy. If this sounds simple, in reality it is not so.
Until recently the laws were very simple and allowed you to declare bankruptcy when you did not have an income or a job but had significant debt outstanding, which could not be serviced. The government then could right off all outstanding from you and give your relief from debt. After a couple years you could once again start your own business or take up a job and resume normal life.
Obviously people started misusing the provisions of the law and hence Government had to finally make amendments in the rules and ensure that only those who genuinely needed bankruptcy support were provided with the relief. So now the rule works differently.
The assets and liabilities of the individual who files for bankruptcy is carried out in detail by the inspection team which then determines the type of bankruptcy that he can file for and claim relief.
Provisions of bankruptcy rules are contained in several chapters with most common cases falling between Chapter 7 to 13 and businesses come under Chapter 11. You application would be admitted under a specific chapter and only after this is determined will the further paperwork and process start.
Every chapter describes in detail and sets down condition applicable for bankruptcy and it is quite impossible for laymen to interpret the subtle differences in the provisions of the various chapters and determine their case. You would have to depend upon bankruptcy lawyers to guide you and file on your behalf. But then no individual stands to get a hundred percent relief of debt.
When you case is decided, you will be expected to pay up a part of your loan outstanding or draw up a plan with extended period for repayments. You will find it difficult to raise credit once again for banks and credit companies will not be willing to fund you because of your bankruptcy tag attached to your reports. You will not be considered credit worthy.
So be very careful before you file for bankruptcy. Unless otherwise you have no other option do not file for bankruptcy, for it does not make your life easier later. But if you do not have any other means to come up with money, then this is the only option available to you. - 41115
