Below Are Some Of The More Common Myths That Exist About Bankruptcy:

Myth: You must give up all of your possessions when going through bankruptcy.

Fact: Most bankruptcies are “no-asset” cases, which means you don’t possess assets that might be liquidated. In these cases you keep what you own because your assets are considered exempt from the bankruptcy process.

Myth: You are unable to obtain credit for 10 years after your bankruptcy.

Fact: If you’ve filed and completed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may apply for low-limit credit cards, and eventually high-limit cards.
