Bankruptcy Myths


That you can no longer file chapter 7.

Simply not true. While the current bankruptcy law is complex and challenging, Attorney Michael Burr will guide you through it. While you may have to pass a means test or be below a median income, filing chapter 7 is still a very viable and available option.


I'll be fired if I file bankruptcy.

Simply not true. A provision in the bankruptcy code will protect you from employment discrimination solely based on being a debtor filing for bankruptcy.


I cannot file unless I have a minimum amount of debt.

Simply not true. There is no particular amount that qualifies for bankruptcy.


I can only file bankruptcy once.

Not true. While you can only file a chapter 7 once every eight years, you can file a chapter 13 anytime.


Bankruptcy will destroy my credit.

Not true. While credit may be harder to obtain after filing a bankruptcy, you will still get credit offers and Attorney Burr will show you how to rehabilitate your credit and even what your credit score will be 1 year after your discharge, whether a chapter 7 or 13.
