Bankruptcy Basics (Revised 2nd Edition)

摘要

The Bankruptcy Judges Division's Public Information Series pamphlet providesbasic information to debtors, creditors, court personnel, the media, and the general public on different aspects of the federal bankruptcy laws. The series is also designed to provide individuals who may be considering bankruptcy with a basic explanation of the different chapters under which a bankruptcy case may be filed and to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about the bankruptcy process. This pamphlet provides general information only. While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in it is accurate as of the date of publication, it is not a full and authoritative statement of the law on any particular topic. The information presented in the pamphlet should not be cited or relied upon as legal authority and should not be used as a substitute for reference to the United States Bankruptcy Code (title 11, United States Code) and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure.
