Filing Bankruptcy – Credit Report
If you are seeking a credit report to gather your creditors to list in a bankruptcy petition, you have another option. For a small fee ($25 for one person / $45 for two), we can obtain your creditors and download them right into your bankruptcy petition; you would not have to fill out any forms for creditors that are on your downloaded credit report. If you have 50 creditors, that will save you a LOT of time. If you only have four creditors then you might just save the $25/$45 fee.
