This is a Book that an 81-Year-Old Illinois Man Should Have Written |
|
I posted an online article recently at Hopeless Utopian about an Illinois man, 81, who has filed for bankruptcy 8 times, most recently in June 2008. This is a guy who has seen both the new and the old, and the older and the even older bankruptcy reform and has had to deal with it all. If I knew the guy's address, I'd send him Stephen Elias' book so he'd be better prepared when he files for the 9th time, if he lives long enough to refile. (Isn't there a minimum number of years you must wait between filings?) In any case, this is the book I'd recommend to him. |

Promoting clear cut answers and strategies to determining this, it offers all the information on qualifying for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which debts are wiped in this regard, if you can keep your major property like your home and car, among other information - it even offers alternatives to clawing your way out of debt without the drastic use of bankruptcy.

Might Be Just The Right Book For You. |
|
If you are considering personal bankruptcy, will satisfy the new means test or have a steady w-2 income you may want to file bankruptcy under Chapters 7 or 13. If you are considering one of the chapters, this is a great book for you. For businesses or individuals with more substantial assets or income, the appropriate Chapter would be Chapter 11. The book that I like on that subject is Chapter 11 Business Reorganizations: For Business Leaders, Accountants And Lawyers |
