The Law to Become an Organized Debtor
A San Francisco Attorney discusses organized debt...
Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 debtors generally want to arrange their financial affairs in a manner that would allow for efficient administration and an ultimate discharge from bankruptcy. Becoming an organized debtor will reduce the likelihood of the court having any issues with the bankruptcy estate. There are several ways to become and remain an organized debtor.
Keeping track of monthly income and expenses is important because it not only helps the court monitor the status of your bankruptcy, but it also teaches the habit of accounting for what income is spent where. Ultimately, upon discharge, the goal is to never have to file for bankruptcy again. Becoming an organized debtor will help achieve that goal.
Getting accustomed to spending cash instead of placing costs and expenses on a credit card is another important aspect of becoming an organized debtor. Becoming comfortable with using an account with direct cash withdrawal will help individuals be aware of what is being spent. Part of being an organized debtor is to become aware of your current financial situation.
Lastly, chapter 11 bankruptcy requires that debtors keep adequate records and notes of their financial records. Organizing yourself in a way that makes accounting of your finances simple will help a chapter 11 reorganization. Similarly, in a chapter 13 plan, you are expected to make monthly payments to the trustee, so it is important to be on top of your financial records in order to ensure there is enough money to make on-time payments.
