How do you file for chapter 13 bankruptcy?

In: Bankruptcy Law [Edit categories]

Answer:

The best way, especially for a Ch 13 is to contact a local attorney. You may end up with a lower repayment plan by using an attorney as well because they understand all the exemptions that you may qualify for.

If you are set on doing it yourself, contact the clerk of the local Bankruptcy Court for the forms. Remember, the Clerk can NOT give you any advice.

Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.
