- Making a list of all secured and unsecured debts
- Listing all car titles and other relevant properties
- Including the deeds to any properties owned or partially owned
- Preparing student loan information
- Listing all other outstanding debts
Debts can be a challenging obstacle to overcome, but understanding the opportunities available through bankruptcy and fully preparing for this process will help to ensure that you do not encounter any needless delays.
