Various Misinterpretations About Getting Hawaii Bankruptcy

By Richard Allen


When one has a lot of debts to their name without a means to pay them, they may decide to file for bankruptcy. This will help them to either pay or have the debt claims discharged. Before opting for this legal procedure to deal with debts, there are some myths you need to know especially about the complex Hawaii bankruptcy procedures.

The main myth about insolvency claims that a debtor cannot file an insolvency charge unless they are completely broke. This is not the case as the broke person is unable to pay a lawyer who is essential in the procedure. An insolvency case can be filed by anyone unable to pay debts. By the debtor paying the dues, he may end up being dependent on the state to live. The insolvency file thus allows a desperate debtor to still hold on to his property.

Ten years after the insolvency has been filed, the debtor can apply for credit. Many people assume that after an insolvency, the debtor will never receive credit. This is not true as the insolvency file will appear on your credit report for only ten years, after this period you can get credits. Initially, the credit offered will be very little, but it will increase with time.

Another myth is that after an insolvency has been declared, the debtor cannot buy a house afterwards. Most banks will fight over you to offer you a loan even after the insolvency file as long as you have a good financial security and enough down payment. They will compete to give you a mortgage though at a higher interest rate as compared to other people. A debtor can thus apply a mortgage to purchase a house even with an insolvency case in their files.

Another misinterpretation is that if one owns a house and files for this process, he will lose it. This can go either way because in some states one is permitted to retain a certain amount inform of property despite them been bankrupt and there is also a consideration of whether they are currently on the mortgage or not. A current mortgage has less equity and increased credit card debt so, in such circumstances, you are allowed to keep the house.

It is an often misconception that even after declaring the insolvency, you will still pay taxes. This is false as some types of taxes are dismissed. For the tax to be dismissed, it should meet some certain conditions. An example of dismissed taxes is the personal tax after three years.

Some myths about insolvency file may lead to a jail term or fine for the debtors. An example of such a myth is one claiming that not all the creditors should be listed in the file. This results in dire consequences especially if the debtor pays the creditor. This is forbidden as it is biased treatment which is prohibited in the legal procedure.

It is also not a guarantee that you will lose your current job. After filing for insolvency in Honolulu, HI as it is believed. Once your boss fires you due to the insolvency case, you can sue him/her. To do this, you need to fully prove that the insolvency case is the basis of the job dismissal. The debtor though has to note that while looking for a new job, the boss can use the insolvency report to determine whether to employ you or not.
