Requirements of an Emergency Bankruptcy Petition in IL

Filing for bankruptcy can ordinarily be a lengthy process, as it requires you to list your assets, debts, income, expenses, and other relevant information about your financial history in accurate detail. If you do not have time to fill out the necessary paperwork due to an impending foreclosure, car repossession, eviction, or wage garnishment, you may file what is known as a “skeleton petition.”

Immediately upon filing, an attorney from our firm can notify your creditors of your filing to stop any impending collection actions against you. If you are filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may also be required to file a pay order that estimates your plan payments to your bankruptcy trustee. Depending on the specific court in which you file, you may also be required to provide written disclosure statements or electronic copies of your documents. Once these forms are filed, you will need to complete the rest of the forms within 14 days, including a complete list of creditors whom you owe money. Failure to complete the remaining necessary paperwork may result in your petition being dismissed, making it extremely important you strictly adhere to this timeline.
