THE BANKRUPTCY PROCESS IN OREGON
OREGON BANKRUPTCY LAWYER
The bankruptcy filing process in Bend moves through several standard steps for each form of bankruptcy. The most commonly filed form of bankruptcy is Chapter 7. The process for Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing is completed within about 4 months in most cases. At Oregon Fresh Start, our Bend debt relief attorney can help you get the new financial beginning you need if you are in serious debt-related problems. Understanding the process can help you make a decision about whether to move forward. When there are pressing financial problems, it is better to solve them sooner than later, as the situation often just gets worse.
THE STEPS IN THE PROCESS
Credit Counseling
Completion of Petition
Court Appearance
Discharge of Debt
After about 75 days, the bankruptcy process is completed and your debt discharged. In some cases, a creditor may file a motion, in which case a further court appearance is necessary, but for most people this rarely occurs.
