Did you know that failing to complete credit counseling can ruin your case? In both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, credit counseling is required. One course must be completed within 180 days before your case is filed and another must be completed before the case can be discharged.
As a rule of thumb, it's best to have the second course completed prior to the meeting of creditors. This is approximately one month after filing. If this course is not completed, it is possible to have your discharge refused.
You can find a list U.S. Trustee approved credit counseling agencies here: http://www.justice.gov/ust/eo/bapcpa/ccde/cc_approved.htm
There are some exemptions from this requirement limited to people who are mentally ill, disabled, or on military duty in an active combat zone.
For more information regarding credit counseling courses, contact Minnesota Bankruptcy Attorney Gregory J. Wald at 952-921-5802.
