If you've been listening to family, friends, and media reports, however well intentioned they might be, you probably have some misconceptions about bankruptcy. Since the bankruptcy laws changed in October of 2005, misinformation about bankruptcy has been everywhere.

• You may have heard that most people can't file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy anymore, but that's simply not true; the vast majority of people who would have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy under the "old law" still qualify.
• You may have heard that bankruptcy will ruin your credit for ten years. It's true that a bankruptcy can appear on your credit report for up to ten years, but many people are able to re-establish solid credit within 18-24 months after bankruptcy.
• You may have heard that hardly anyone files for bankruptcy protection anymore, but the truth is that since the original drop-off after the law change, bankruptcy filings have been steadily mounting.

Don't rely on news stories, friends, or guesses, and don't let negative thinking keep you from seeking out solutions to your financial problems. Talk to a local bankruptcy attorney and find out how you may be able to get a fresh financial start!
