To file or not to file is one of the most serious financial decisions you will ever make. It is critical that you fully understand possible alternatives to make the best decision for your financial circumstances. Starting in 2005, you are required to complete a pre-filing counseling session, and a certificate of completion must be given to your attorney if you decide to file for bankruptcy.
Once you file for bankruptcy, the 2005 legislation also requires you to take and complete a short financial management course before your debts are discharged by the court. Topics include:
- Rebuilding finances after bankruptcy
- Developing and following a budget
- Understanding and using credit
