Please read the following instructions carefully. This packet has been especially designed for you to help you organize your financial information in preparation of filing your Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case and to help you understand the Bankruptcy process. Please review this information and complete the ENTIRE packet as thoroughly and accurately as you can. Some of the requested information may apply to more than one question or section. Some of the requested information may not apply to your situation at all. If it does not apply, simply skip over those questions that do not apply to you. Please try to give as much information as you are able. The more information you provide to us, the better and faster we can serve you. BY FEDERAL LAW, ALL OF YOUR CREDITORS (any party to whom you owe money) MUST BE LISTED regardless of how they will be reorganized.

*Please note when you "finalize" your Bankruptcy Petition (this means after you review your final papers with us and sign your name to them) that you are signing official Court documents under penalties of perjury. This means that the information you provide to us and to the Court must be the complete truth. There are serious and severe consequences to not being completely honest with the United States government. The best way to avoid any complications in your case is to give as much information as possible on the specific question asked.

The United States Bankruptcy Court requires you to pay a filing fee of $194.00 for Chapter 13 cases; and $209.00 for Chapter 7 cases. The Bankruptcy Court does not accept personal checks. Therefore, you must make the filing fee payable to Tommy Andrews, Jr., P.C. or you may provide a money order directly to the Court made payable to "Clerk, United States Bankruptcy Court". The Court filing fee is NOT included in the attorney fees that you have paid to Tommy Andrews, Jr., P.C. for representing you in your case. We cannot file your case without the attorney fee and the filing fee having been paid. All attorneys fees and filing fees must be paid in either cash, money order, or certified cashier’s check.

If a foreclosure sale has been scheduled against your property, your Bankruptcy case must be filed with the Court before the sale takes place in order for you to keep your property. Our office will not receive a notice about your foreclosure sale. This means that in order for us to know that a foreclosure sale of your property will take place, you must tell us in writing. It is your responsibility to watch out for any sale dates of your property and to notify us in writing that a sale has been scheduled.

The purpose of a Bankruptcy case is to give you a fresh start and allow you to reclaim financial independence and most importantly, your peace of mind. The law firm of Tommy Andrews, Jr., P.C. is personally dedicated to serving your needs. We want you to succeed and will assist you in all legal ways we are able with the resources we have at hand! It is crucial for you to keep in mind that you are our most valuable resource during your Bankruptcy case! Open and complete communication is vital, even after your case has been filed and the immediate danger of losing your property is no longer a threat.

Thank you for entrusting your case to us. All the information you provide to us, verbally or in writing, is strictly confidential. We will not disclose or discuss your information with third parties, other than your creditors and agents, without your express written authorization.
