"if i file bankruptcy, wont i lose all of my stuff?"

Often people assume that filing bankruptcy means that they will have to “give up” their property. (Homes, cars, personal property, etc.)  This is usually not the case.  In fact, bankruptcy can often be used to save property that you want to keep but have fallen behind on.  Filing a bankruptcy prevents creditors from repossessing your car or foreclosing on your home.  If you haven’t spoken with a Bankruptcy Attorney about your situation, don’t assume that there is nothing that can be done.
