Legal Information:

Bankruptcy laws help people who can no longer pay their creditors get a fresh start by creating a repayment plan or by liquidating assets to pay their debts. Bankruptcy laws also protect troubled businesses and provide for orderly distributions to business creditors through reorganization or liquidation. Once your debts are discharged by Federal Bankruptcy Court, creditors listed on your bankruptcy papers cannot legally make you pay those debts.

You can find more information on if you should file for bankruptcy, along with how to do so, below.
