- If I file for bankruptcy, what should I expect in terms of remaining debt?When people file for bankruptcy, it’s likely that their debts related to credit cards, medical bills, car loans and home loans will be discharged (i.e., that the person will not be responsible for repaying these debts). However, some debts will not be discharged with bankruptcy, which means that borrowers will still be on the hook for repaying these debts after a bankruptcy case.
Such debts that will remain after bankruptcy include some tax-related debts, student loan debts and debts related to court-order payments (like, for example, restitution fines associated with criminal convictions and spousal or child support associated with prior divorces).
- What do I need to change about my financial situation after filing for bankruptcy to reduce the chances I may need to file again in the future?This is perhaps one of the most important questions people should ask themselves when they are facing the possibility of bankruptcy. The fact is that, while bankruptcy offers a financial fresh start for people buried in debt, these people may have to make significant changes to their spending and living habits after bankruptcy to ensure that they are able to get back in good financial health and to minimize the chances that they will ever need to file for bankruptcy again in the future.
To this end, it’s crucial that borrowers take some time to figure out what behaviors and/or types of debt got them into bankruptcy in the first place and that they make a plan for what they will need to do after their bankruptcy case has been finalized in order to rebuild their finances.
