4. Last but definitely not the least is that one need to understand that to file
bankruptcies you can not possibly discharge debts which are started or opened after filing for one. What will be included in the discharge are the debts that you have before you filed for one. If you have a new debt or loan after bankruptcy, it will be a different story.
Knowing the four things above pays a lot as it can help one make a sound decision. Bankruptcy is not a thing that can easily be dropped off from one's credit report as it stays there for about a decade. There are times when people file bankruptcies only to realize that a much better and less harsh solution would have benefited them just the same.
