The decision to file bankruptcy is a big one. If you are looking for more information about the process, review the links below before choosing your Utah bankruptcy attorney.
The Utah Bankruptcy Court
On the Utah Bankruptcy Court’s official site, you’ll find helpful information like bankruptcy forms, court calendars, and the rules and procedures for filing bankruptcy in Utah. You can also look at Utah’s filing statistics, which will give you an idea of the number of people also filing in this state, and the degree to which that number has risen in recent years.
FTC's Online Complaint Form
The FTC’s online complaint form is where you will go to submit a complaint about illegal debt collection activity. While they won’t get involved in your case, alerting this federal bureau about their practices will be a red mark on their business and hopefully force them to change their ways.
Utah State Exempt Property List
This site is the actual Utah state code section, or law, that sets forth which kinds of property are protected in a bankruptcy. In other words, the trustee cannot take this stuff away from you in either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. And because the legislature cannot do anything simply, there is a second list of protected property here. These two lists combined are all of the exempt property protected in a Utah bankruptcy.
The United States Bankruptcy Code
