I do not understand how it works. Let’s say you are ,000 in debt and you may’t pay. You file for bankruptcy. So, what then? The bank just pays some of your fines for you and you are scott-free? They just pay for you just like that for no reason? How does it work?
I understand this probably screws up some chances you have for financing in the future, right? And ruins your credit score? I am confused. Please help. Thanks!

bankruptcy is complicated and this is high level explanation. You list your assets, debts and income, etc. in a court filing. a trustee is appointed to review the paperwork and then presented to a judge. if the judge agrees, then your creditors are notified who in turn write off any balances owed, which is referred to as discharged. almost any debt is then wiped clean and the bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for 7 years. student loan debt can’t be written off.

When you file for bankruptcy, your debt of $15,000, if unsecured by a car, furniture, or anything else, is discharged by the bankruptcy. No one pays it, and not your bank. Yes, you are scott free. Usually takes two years to build up a decent credit score. It stays on your record for 10 years. Many people get up to 700 and more with the bankruptcy still showing.

First you go to a lawyer pay him his fee, then give him your bills, you will appear in bankrupcy court and they will discharge bills. you don’t pay the creditors back. But bankrupcy appears on your credit report for 7 years. But that was the old law. new law i believe you have to do a payment plan through the courts. Hopw this answer helps.

A bankruptcy will discharge (get rid off) all of your debt, whether secured or unsecured. You will have the option to keep your secured debt (anything with a lien on it) as long as you are current on payments at the time of filing the bankruptcy.
After you have filed for bankruptcy and have gone to a quick meeting with the Bankruptcy Trustee and your attorney, you will receive a discharge of your debt in about 60 days. The Bankruptcy Court orders all of your creditors to discharge any money you owed to them, therefore, you will no longer owe the debt to them.
Bankruptcy actually improves your credit score in about 12 months. It does this because you are wiping away all of your bad debt and starting over in a sense. You will be able to finance in the future, but the bankruptcy will show on your credit report and therefore may result in a higher interest rate in some cases.
This information is for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, which i am assuming you would benefit from if you are $15,000 in debt. Your attorney will make the ultimate decision as to which Chapter you should file.
Hope this helps
