Product Description:
This all-in-one book can help you find relief from overwhelming debt!

If you have more debt than you can possibly pay off, the bankruptcy system is there to help -- and with How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you'll find the clear and user-friendly information, advice and forms you need to get through the entire process.

First, the book will help you determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7 --and whether it is the best way to deal with your debts. Then you'll find out 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

The 14th edition is updated and revised to reflect the latest laws and legal forms, plus the line-by-line instructions you need to fill them out. Easy-to-use charts make looking up the laws of your state a snap.

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: Repay Your Debts.

Amazon.com Review:
In these times of massive credit card debt and stagnating incomes, filing for bankruptcy has become the only relief for thousands of people. The information in How to File for Bankruptcy is so complete that a person can file virtually on his own, without needing to hire a lawyer. By no means does the book encourage filing for bankruptcy, but it will help anyone in serious financial trouble determine if bankruptcy might be a sensible course to take, and examines what kind is appropriate for different individuals. All of the necessary forms are included, complete with explicit directions. Like all Nolo Press titles, this is a straightforward, no-nonsense book of useful advice and specific guidance, written in clear, easy-to-understand language.

- This Could Be The Right Book For you
If you are considering personal bankruptcy, will satisfy the new means test or have a steady w-2 income you may want to file bankruptcy under Chapters 7 or 13. If you are considering one of the chapters, this is a great book for you. For businesses or individuals with more substantial assets or income, the appropriate Chapter would be Chapter 11. The book that I like on that subject is Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers

- Very helpful resource
This review refers to the 13th edition of the book, which does cover the new bankruptcy law revision of 2006. Please read the editorial and customer reviews as to why this book was so helpful.

The author does a good job explaining how to file your own bankruptcy "pro se" (which means you are your own attorney and responsible for finding the answers to your own legal questions.)

At the time the 13th edition was printed, the author didn't know if any of the state bankruptcy courts would grant an indigent filer relief from the bankruptcy filing fee. This is because there was a difference between the federal agency that created the exemption document and the agency that says such requests can be granted. Apparently, this difference of opinion has since been resolved. In my state, Washington, the judge did grant me exemption from filing the court fee, a savings of over [...].
