Before you file a Bankruptcy case, the law requires you to "recieve a briefing that outlines the available opportunites for credit counseling and provides assistance in performing a budget analysis".
After the Bankruptcy is filed but BEFORE it is completed, you must "complete a Financial Management instructional course".
These counseling sessions must be done by a non-profit organization approved by the US Trustee's Office.
The US Trustee is part of the US Dept. of Justive.
You must also recieve a certificate of completion
from the counseling agency.
You may not be turned away by the credit counselor for lack of funds as the law requires them not to charge you if you can't afford it.
