Immediate help with a bankruptcy requires fast action. The Federal Trade Commission recommends people carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of bankruptcy before making a decision. However, people facing foreclosure, wage garnishment or some other pressing financial problem often feel they have to act immediately. Same-day help is available although there are consequences for a hasty decision. Bankruptcy information remains on credit reports for 10 years, even if the filing is later withdrawn.
Instructions
- 1
Contact a bankruptcy attorney. Options are limited with just one day to act and the best immediate help is an experienced attorney. Review your financial situation with the attorney as you discuss your key reason for considering bankruptcy.
2Meet with one or two other attorneys if you have enough time. Initial consultations are usually free and meeting with more than one attorney allows you to ask more questions.
3Hire one of the attorneys. Authorize the attorney to file a bankruptcy petition on your behalf, if that is what you want to do. Federal bankruptcy courts allow for emergency bankruptcy filings a lawyer can complete in just minutes. Additional paperwork is required within 14 days to complete the bankruptcy filing.
