Is We The People's Bankruptcy A Sign About Filing For Missouri Or Illinois Bankruptcy By Yourself?

By:


Document preparers "We The People" have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company, with locations all over the U.S. including St. Louis, provides documents for people to handle legal matters like living trusts, wills, divorce, partnership agreement, application for citizenship and even bankruptcy. They don't, however, provide actual legal service. In fact, on their website, they assure anyone looking to open one of these franchises that you need no legal experience to do so.

What kind of help does a document preparer provide? A document preparer provides you with the necessary forms you need to take care of a legal matter by yourself. For bankruptcy in Missouri and Illinois, they help prepare Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 forms. They do not accompany clients to court hearings, answer their legal questions, or assist them in getting the discharge they need for a fresh start from debt.

Should document preparation be an option for you? Possibly. There are some legal matters that are small enough that it would be a waste of time and money to hire an attorney. I don't consider Missouri and Illinois bankruptcy to be a small matter, though. Document preparers give people the impression that any legal matter can be taken care of quickly and easily—and without the advice of an experienced St. Louis law firm.

I think, as evidenced by their need to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, we can see that they've encountered some problems with the kind of service they provide.

When it comes to something as serious as your financial future, the cheap way isn't necessarily the best way. Getting protection from foreclosure, credit card debt help and relief from the harassment of creditors is no simple matter. Doing it right the first time requires knowledge of the Missouri or Illinois legal system along with the bankruptcy process. Talking to someone that has the knowledge to navigate the legal system is not only recommended, it is essential.

If you needed open heart surgery, would you try to find a way to do it yourself? Probably not. Why would you treat your financial future any differently?

Keep in mind, going the cheap route could end up costing you just as much money in the end. One small error could mean the end of your bankruptcy case. If you are denied a discharge due to one of those simple errors, you will be left without any relief and a bankruptcy on your credit report.

The customers of We The People have spoken. Do it yourself bankruptcy may just be too great a risk for you and your family.
