Do you have to be a citizen to file bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John Frederick Leaberry (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of John Leaberry
You can file bankruptcy if you meet the eligibility requirements for the Chapter you wish to file. Being a citizen is NOT a requirement. Immigration status is not affected by bankruptcy unless fraud or moral turpitude is involved. If citizenship is your objective, bankruptcy won't negatively affect your application.

Can bankruptcy help with student loans and wage garnishment?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Other than work things out with the lender there isn't anything you can really do. Student loans are generally not dischargeable in bankruptcy unless you cannot not even earn enough to pay the very basic of expenses such as food and shelter and there is no hope that your situation will change plus you must have made a substantial effort to pay taking advantage of all the payment plans available. Generally some permanent disability or infirmity is required to be able to discharge student loans in bankruptcy. You can always contact your elective representatives in Congress and the California legislature to see if there is anything they can do to facilitate some payment plan that you can afford if the lender is not being reasonable.
