Filing Bankruptcy is Still Possible During COVID-19 Social Distancing
Whether you were on the brink of bankruptcy before the pandemic started, or if quarantine measures have drastically reduced your income, you may be wondering if bankruptcy is still an option for you. Like everyone else, bankruptcy professionals have had to change the way they operate- but filing is still possible.
Once you have picked a lawyer and determine which chapter you will file, you will need to submit your documents to your attorney so they can draft your petition. Some offices may offer a secure client portal to upload your documents, but most should accept email, fax, or standard mail. You should not need to drop off your documents in person during a stay-at-home order. You will also need to take a credit counseling course before you file, which can be conducted online.
