Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
Will filing for bankruptcy stop creditor harassment in Florida?
Filing for bankruptcy in Florida will typically stop creditor harassment as it triggers an automatic stay. This legal protection prohibits creditors from pursuing further collection actions against you, including contacting you directly, suing you, or garnishing your wages.
Can I rent a home or apartment after filing for bankruptcy in Florida?
Yes, you can rent a home or apartment after filing for bankruptcy in Florida. While bankruptcy can affect your credit score and history, making it harder to rent, many landlords understand financial difficulties and may still be willing to rent to you. Providing a larger security deposit or having a co-signer can also improve your chances of securing a rental property.
How does filing for bankruptcy while married affect joint debts?
When filing for bankruptcy while married, the treatment of joint debts can vary depending on whether the debts are in both spouses’ names. If a debt is held jointly, it means both spouses are equally responsible for repaying it. In such cases, if one spouse files for bankruptcy and discharges their liability for the debt, the other spouse may still be pursued by creditors for the full amount owed.
What happens to my credit card debt?
Credit card debt is typically dischargeable in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Are there specific considerations for married couples filing for bankruptcy in community property states like Florida?
In community property states, debts incurred during the marriage are generally considered joint debts, even if only one spouse is listed as the debtor. When filing for bankruptcy, both spouses’ incomes and assets could be factored into the bankruptcy estate, affecting the distribution of assets and liabilities.
Will my wages be garnished after I file for bankruptcy?
Filing for bankruptcy usually stops wage garnishments through the automatic stay.
