Do I Need Debt Counseling Before Bankruptcy

A San Jose bankruptcy lawyer answers whether bankruptcy will help with credit card debt...

The short answer as to whether a Bay Area consumer in debt needs debt couseling before bankrutpcy is: YES! But before you cringe, realize two things:

Debt Counseling before bankrutpcy can only help in the future of your financial success (and that applies to anyone, even those that file bankruptcy due to unforseen circumstances rather than poor money management).

Debt Counseling before bankruptcy is an integral component of the bankuptcy filing process.
debtor education and credit counseling are the two debt counseling courses that bankruptcy filers must complete prior to their bankruptcy being discharged. But don't let the fear of debt counseling stop you from looking into bankrutpcy as an option for you. The courses are easily acessible and can be taken online, over the phone or in person. A responsible bankruptcy firm, such as Sagaria Law can provide resources for debt counseling and walk you through the process. We even have computer stations at our offices so that you may take the debt counseling courses right here.
