How to File For Chapter 7 Bankruptcy provides clear and user-friendly information, and all the needed forms—along with step-by-step instructions for filling them out. Learn how to: · stop wage garnishments and attachments · fill out and file all the forms · cancel as much debt as possible · deal with secured debts · keep the maximum amount of property · keep your home, if possible · rebuild credit after bankruptcy, and more.The 16th edition is revised to include the most recent forms and figures, changes to state exemption laws (which determine what property bankruptcy filers may keep), and the latest court decisions. Please note: This book does not cover business bankruptcies, farm reorganizations or individual repayment plans (Chapter 13). For Chapter 13 bankruptcy, see Nolo's Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
