How do I file for bankruptcy?

Janet Bodnar (Deputy Editor, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance) gives expert video advice on: How do I file for bankruptcy?

You would go and consult with a bankruptcy attorney. That would be the best way to file. There are some new rules under the new bankruptcy law that do require you to go through some counselling before you actually file for bankruptcy. So there are some bells and whistles and hoops that you have to jump through before you actually get to file. You may be directed to Chapter thirteen if you don't meet the income limits for Chapter seven, but you may be able to find those things out just by going to a bankruptcy lawyer.
