Post-Bankruptcy Debtor Education
Individuals must also take a debtor education course after filing for bankruptcy. This course is meant to equip individuals with financial management tips like coming up with a budget and regaining credit after bankruptcy. Individuals are expected to file the certificate of completion with the court to prove that they have taken this course. Agencies may also file the certificate on behalf of the individuals, and the filing must be done within 60 days of the date set for the 341 hearing (meeting of creditors).
