Bankruptcy - Items to bring to your initial consultation
December 08, 2008
If you think you may file bankruptcy, please let me know, by email or telephone call, if you would like to receive an online questionnaire. This online form is much easier than the one you print from my website. It will also expedite the filing as we are able to download the form into our software.
When you come to my office for your initial meeting, there are several items that you will need to bring with you. If you don't have them available, you may not be able to file until we receive copies. Prior to filing, you will need:
- Your last 2 years of tax returns for you and your spouse - even if your spouse is not filing bankruptcy;
- Six months of your pay-stubs from your employer or some official statement from your employer providing this information. If your spouse works, but is not filing bankruptcy, please bring your spouse's information also. If you are self-employed, I will need a profit and loss statement from you or your accountant;
- Six months of bank statements for all accounts;
- Your year-to-date earnings which are not included in a tax return previously filed;
- A copy of your credit report, which can be obtained free of charge here.
Other documents may be required, but this will get us started. Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.
