The thought of filing for bankruptcy can be overwhelming and extremely confusing for anyone.

As with any legal process in Florida, the more information available to you before it is needed, the better you may feel about the process overall.

When deciding to file for bankruptcy, it is important to know what you may need to bring to an initial consultation. The essence of bankruptcy and the legal process is proving you can’t pay your bills as they are. Bringing in any and all collection letters is a great start. You should also bring billing statements, mortgage information and car payment information.

It isn’t enough to simply show that you owe a lot of money to a lot of different people. Proving your income is essential also. Six months of bank statements will outline your expense. Tax returns will outline your income over the last few years.
