Question # 8:
Do I have to go to court?
You will need to attend a short hearing about 4-6 weeks
after you file.
About two weeks after you
file your bankruptcy petition you should receive a notice in the
mail from the court. The notice will tell you that a bankruptcy
has been filed, and will also tell you the date it was filed,
your case number, and the date, time and location of your
hearing. Typically, the hearing will be 4-6 weeks after your
bankruptcy case is filed.
By an act of the United States Congress,
I am a debt relief agent helping people file for bankruptcy and/or
protecting them from collection agency harassment. The determination of the need for legal services, or
debt relief services, and the choice of a lawyer are extremely
important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Law changes from place to place and time
to time. This website is not and is not intended to be an
advertisement outside the state of California. This website is helpful, but is not meant to be legal advice.
Thus, it is not a substitute for meeting with an attorney and
obtaining specific legal advice. No
attorney client relationship has or will be established with Attorney
Ronald Wilcox unless and until a written retainer agreement has been
executed. Ronald Wilcox is admitted in California.
For the most part, this web site only discusses chapter 7 bankruptcy. When the word
"bankruptcy" is used in this web site, it is only referring to chapter
7 bankruptcy. There are other chapters of bankruptcy. These other
chapters may be better for you depending on your particular
circumstances. The chapter you choose to file has many consequences.
To determine which chapter is best in your situation, you should speak
with a qualified bankruptcy attorney.
