Bankruptcy Questions

How much will Bellevue bankruptcy cost me?
Bankruptcy cases generally cost about $1000 and $2000 for a Chapter 7. While this is a good estimate, prices will differ depending on your situation and the type of bankruptcy that you file. A Chapter 13 is much more expensive because it take much more time and work.

Will I lose everything?
No you will not. Depending on the type of bankruptcy you file under, you may not lose anything at all. If you file Chapter 13 the bankruptcy court does not require you to give up any assets. In a Chapter 7 the bankruptcy court will require you to give up any non-exempt assets, but with the help of a bankruptcy attorney most people who file bankruptcy must not give up any assets.

Will my creditors leave me alone?

This happens because the bankruptcy court will send an automatic stay to all your creditor on your behalf. This automatic stay legally prohibits them from trying to contact you at all.

How will bankruptcy affect my credit score?
