How to File Bankruptcy?

Filling for bankruptcy can be a difficult thing to accept, however, this law was put into effect to protect people. Prior to filing bankruptcy, ensure that there are no other options. Once a person does file, bankruptcy stays on their credit records for up to ten years.
If a person has no other option but to file, bankruptcy can come in two common types: straight liquidation bankruptcy, or a repayment plan. A person should thoroughly research both options prior to filing for bankruptcy to ensure they are making the proper decision. If it is available, legal advice may be helpful.
After deciding which method an individual will utilize when filing for bankruptcy, they should then determine the fee that will be owed for filing. Fees can vary depending on the amount of debt and the type of bankruptcy one is filing. Filing can be done online, but if one chooses to do so it is suggested that fees not be paid using their credit cards.
After filing, an individual will then be faced with different meetings with creditors to determine the bankruptcy and how in depth it is. A creditor has up to 60 days to file a lawsuit against the individual who is filing bankruptcy if they feel there are fraudulent acts taking place resulting in the bankruptcy filing.
When filing for bankruptcy it is important to keep copies of all your documents as well as those from your lawyer. When filing for bankruptcy, your employer will not be notified unless they are a creditor. However, all filed bankruptcies are public records.

Consequences of Late Credit Cards Payments-2

Secondly, making late payments will make you see your interest rate raised to the creditor’s default rate, which can be sky high. In addition penalizing you with a fee, creditors will often increase your interest rate. Default rate can rise as high as 35%. High rate of interest increases your finance charges making it more expensive to carry a balance. If you make on-time payments for six months, your card issue is required to give back your pre-penalty rate.

Thirdly, when your payment is more than 30 days late, your delinquency will be reported by your creditor to the credit bureaus. This will also lower your credit score. Once a late payment is reported or entered to your credit report the payment will stay for seven years.

Fourthly, late payments will directly affect and lower your credit score. Credit history makes up 35% of your credit score. Missing payments can have a significant effect on your score affecting your ability to get new credit in the future. Being less than 30 days late doesn’t lower your score, as opposed to the late fees and interest rate hikes where even one day delay creates serious problems. But this must be avoided as the longer your account remains delinquent and the further behind you fall, the heavier the damage to your credit score.
