The 7-step filing process

- Prove that you qualify for bankruptcy through a means test (for high-income filers only)
- Undergo mandatory credit counseling
- Let your attorney file necessary paperwork
- Be protected from foreclosures and collections through an automatic stay
- Get a trustee appointed to your case who will meet with creditors
- Provide any financial records requested by the trustee
- Turn over non-exempt assets to the trustee
