What exactly happens when filing Bankruptcy? Can a person file it under these circumstances?
December 23rd, 2009 | by admin |Maggie asked:
If the family is on welfare (government-assisted apartments & food stamps) but has much unpaid medical bills? Husband has only VA insurance but apparently they won’t pay much of the bill because he reported it past 90 days (or something close to that). Not sure what bankruptcy entails but I know it means “start from scratch” but we also don’t have anything to give….so can a person on welfare file?

Yes, a person receiving welfare assistance can file bankruptcy.
Sometimes an attorney may advise those on welfare to wait to file bankruptcy until their circumstances begin to improve, because right now they may not have anything that creditors could take from them anyway even if the creditor were to sue.
Most bankruptcy attorneys offer one free consultation. Make an appointment for a free face-to-face consultation with a local bankruptcy attorney and use it to review your options and the attorney’s recommended strategies for getting a fresh start.
