BANKRUPTCY & DEBT RELIEF
ILLINOIS BANKRUPTCY & DEBT RELIEF
Keep the records. Understand the obligations. Build from a realistic budget.
Retain the discharge order and important case records. If a creditor contacts you about an old balance, gather the notice and discuss whether the particular debt was addressed. Do not assume every obligation ended with the case.
Check reports for information you believe is inaccurate and use the established dispute process. A bankruptcy does not promise a particular score increase or credit approval. Beware of anyone guaranteeing an immediate result.
Account for periodic expenses as well as monthly bills. Understand the terms of any new credit before accepting it. If a Chapter 13 plan is ongoing and circumstances change, contact your attorney promptly.
Questions about a current or former case? Contact the office with the case information available.
General information; application depends on your circumstances. Ask an attorney before acting on a legal deadline.
