In Utah the bankruptcy process is going to be fairly identical to any other state that you would file in and that’s because bankruptcy law is based on federal law. The process involves coming into a law office such as ours, giving us the information that we need with regards to who you are, where you live, what you own, what you owe. We take that information and put it into what’s called bankruptcy petition and we file that electronically for you. As soon as we file it all collection efforts of any type, whether they were doing it within the court system or on the telephone or by letter will immediately stop. After the filing of the bankruptcy petition in approximately 40 days we will go to what’s called a creditors meeting. At that creditors meeting, creditors are invited to come and ask you any questions about your property. The reality is, in the vast majority of cases, no creditors show up at these and it’s primarily designed to allow the trustee to ask you questions with regards to the bankruptcy filing and the information that we’ve put into the petition. We will be there with you at all times to assist you and also prep you before going into this creditors meeting so that there are no surprises.
