My girlfriend and her husband are considering on filing Bankruptcy, but wanted to know exactly how it appears on their credit report? He already has a Foreclosure, Repossesion and countless of other delinquencies.Anyway, when he files for Chapter 7 will all those deliquent accounts be removed and the only thing appears on the report would be BANKRUPTCY or will it still reflect those creditors in addition to Bankruptcy? I think it would but that’s just my guess anyway if anyone here has filed and saw how it’s reflecting on their report, please reply.

I know you can’t usually include student loans in a bankruptcy, but what if a person files for chapter 7 and then wants to go back to school? Will they be able to get loans for school?

I was just wondering what is the difference between Chapter 7, 10 & 13 bankruptcies. How did the new law that Bush passed now affect bankruptcies (or does it at all)? I’ve heard everything that you can’t file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy anymore to you have to take financial planning classes thereafter. Also, is it advisable at all? I know normally people say make it your last resort, but I am beyond in debt and do not have any other resolutions. Any horror stories after filing? Any positive stories? Please enlighten me.
