Step 1: What the Automatic Stay immediately stops (And the 6 things it does NOT stop)¶

The moment a bankruptcy petition is filed under Chapter 7, Chapter 11, or Chapter 13, 11 U.S.C. 362(a) acts as an instant nationwide freeze order. If a creditor willfully violates the Automatic Stay after being notified of your case number, 11 U.S.C. 362(k) requires the bankruptcy judge to award you actual damages, emotional distress damages, attorney fees, and punitive damages.

• 2. Statement About Your Social Security Numbers (Official Form 121, 1 page): Submitted privately to the court clerk (kept off the public docket) so creditors can match your tax ID.
• 3. Sertipikat Konseling Kredit Pra-Kebangkrutan (1 halaman): Dikaluarkeun via email PDF saatos ngalengkepan pengarahan online 1 jam ti lembaga anu disatujuan ku Wali AS (justice.gov/ust). Under 11 U.S.C. 109(h)(1), the timestamp on your Credit Counseling Certificate must be BEFORE the timestamp of your bankruptcy petition filing.
• 4. The Creditor Mailing Matrix (Verifikasi of Creditor Matrix): Daptar téks polos tina nami pasti sareng alamat milis unggal creditor anjeun ngahutang (utamana palayanan hipotik, firma hukum wali amanat, kreditor garnishing, sareng lembaga pajeg).
• 5. Fee Filing Pangadilan (338 USD pikeun Bab 7 / 313 USD pikeun Bab 13) ATAWA Aplikasi Angsuran (Bentuk Resmi 103A) / Waiver Biaya (Bentuk Resmi 103B): Gantelkeun Bentuk Resmi 103A pikeun ngajukeun 0 USD turun ayeuna sareng mayar dugi ka 4 cicilan, atanapi Bentuk Resmi 103B di handap: tungtunan kamiskinan féderal.

Once your skeleton petition is stamped on Day 1, you have a strict 14-calendar-day deadline under Bankruptcy Rule 1007© to file all remaining schedules (Schedules A/B through J, Statement of Financial Affairs, Means Test, and Chapter 13 Plan) or file a timely Motion to Extend Time before Day 14 expires, or the court will automatically dismiss the case on Day 15.

Step 4: Which debts ARE wiped out in bankruptcy vs. Non-Dischargeable debts¶

• 100 Percent Dischargeable (Wiped Out in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13):
  • Credit card balances, retail store cards, and "Buy Now, Pay Later" accounts.
  • Medical, hospital, dental, and ambulance bills (regardless of dollar amount).
  • Personal loans, signature loans, payday loans, and cash-advance app balances.
  • Deficiencies left over after an auto repossession or home foreclosure.
  • Past-due utility bills (electric, gas, water, phone, internet) and broken apartment lease arrears.
  • Social Security (SSDI/SSI) and unemployment benefit overpayments (unless intentional fraud is proven).
  • Old personal income taxes that satisfy all five prongs of the 3-2-240 Tax Discharge Rule (return due at least 3 years ago, filed by you at least 2 years ago, assessed at least 240 days ago, with no fraud).
• Non-Dischargeable (Cannot Be Wiped Out in Chapter 7, Though Manageable Over 60 Months in Chapter 13):
  • Domestic Support Obligations (11 U.S.C. 523(a)(5)): Child support and alimony are never dischargeable.
  • Recent Income Taxes and All "Trust Fund" Payroll/Sales Taxes (11 U.S.C. 523(a)(1)): Income taxes less than 3 years old, unfiled tax years, and business payroll withholding or sales taxes cannot be discharged in Chapter 7 (though Chapter 13 pays priority taxes over 60 months with 0% future penalty).
  • Criminal Fines, Restitution, and DUI Personal Injury Judgments (11 U.S.C. 523(a)(7) & (a)(9)): Never dischargeable.
  • Student Loans (11 U.S.C. 523(a)(8)): Non-dischargeable unless you file an Adversary Proceeding proving "Undue Hardship" (streamlined for federal loans via the DOJ/ED 15-page Attestation Process) or prove the private loan was non-qualified.

Step 5: Small business bankruptcy triage (Protecting personal assets when an LLC or corporation fails)¶

If you own a struggling small business hit with commercial lease lockouts, vendor lawsuits, SBA loan defaults, or Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs):

1. Distinguish Business Entity Liability from Your "Personal Guarantee": Almost every commercial landlord, SBA lender, business credit card issuer, and MCA lender requires the owner to sign a Personal Guarantee. If you close your LLC without addressing your personal guarantees, those creditors will immediately sue you personally.
2. If the Business Is Closing Permanently: Use the "Non-Consumer Debt" Chapter 7 Means Test Exemption (11 U.S.C. 707(b)(1)): The strict Chapter 7 Means Test applies ONLY to individuals whose debts are "primarily consumer debts". If more than 50 percent of your total debt dollar amount consists of Non-Consumer Debts (personally guaranteed business loans, SBA EIDL/7(a) guarantees, commercial lease guarantees, MCAs, or business taxes), you are 100 percent legally exempt from the Chapter 7 Means Test regardless of how high your current salary is, allowing you to wipe out your personal guarantees and credit cards in 90 days.
3. If the Business Is Viable and Needs to Keep Operating: File Subchapter V Chapter 11: Filing a Subchapter V Small Business Reorganization (11 U.S.C. 1181-1195) immediately halts daily MCA bank sweeps, releases frozen accounts as Cash Collateral, rejects unprofitable leases, and lets you keep 100 percent of your ownership equity while paying projected disposable business income over 3 to 5 years.

Pituduh internasional: Britania Raya, Kanada, jeung Australia¶

• In the United Kingdom (Breathing Space, Debt Relief Orders, IVAs, and Bankruptcy):
  • Step 1: Trigger an Immediate 60-Day Statutory "Breathing Space": Contact a free FCA-authorized debt charity (StepChange, National Debtline, or Citizens Advice) to enter a statutory 60-Day Breathing Space Moratorium (under the Debt Respite Scheme Regulations 2020, or a Mental Health Crisis Breathing Space), freezing enforcement, bailiffs, interest, and fees for 60 days.
  • Debt Relief Order (DRO: Free for Renters Owing up to 50,000 GBP): In England and Wales, if you do not own a home, owe 50,000 GBP or less, have gross assets under 2,000 GBP (plus a car worth up to 4,000 GBP), and have 75 GBP or less in monthly surplus income, a 0 GBP fee DRO freezes debts for 12 months and wipes them out 100 percent. Homeowners or higher debtors can compare an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) against UK Bankruptcy (680 GBP online fee, discharging after 12 months).
• In Canada (Consumer Proposals vs. Personal Bankruptcy via a Licensed Insolvency Trustee):
  • Automatic Stay of Proceedings (BIA Section 69): Only a federally regulated Licensed Insolvency Trustee (LIT) (ised-isde.canada.ca, free initial consultation) can file a Consumer Proposal or Personal Bankruptcy, triggering an immediate nationwide Stay of Proceedings under Section 69 of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act that halts all wage garnishments (including CRA tax Requirements to Pay) and lawsuits.
  • Division II Consumer Proposal (Up to 250,000 CAD): Lets you keep 100 percent of your home equity, vehicles, and RRSP/TFSA investments while settling unsecured and CRA tax debts for a negotiated fraction (often 20 to 35 percent) paid at 0% interest over up to 60 months.
• In Australia (21-Day Declaration of Intention, Part IX Debt Agreements, and AFSA Bankruptcy):
  • Immediate 21-Day Emergency Freeze (Section 54A Bankruptcy Act 1966): Lodge a free Temporary Debt Protection (TDP / Declaration of Intention) online with the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) at afsa.gov.au to freeze unsecured creditor enforcement for 21 days while speaking with the free National Debt Helpline (1800 007 007) to compare a Part IX Debt Agreement against Voluntary Bankruptcy (3 years and 1 day).
