Denial of Bankruptcy Discharge
People who are facing serious financial struggles may find themselves unable to pay important debts like mortgages, credit card payments, student loans, and car payments. If a person finds him or herself unable to maintain regular payments on important obligations, he or she may face foreclosure, repossession, and other serious consequences. In such cases, people often turn to bankruptcy to protect their assets and hopefully emerge on solid financial ground.
One of the worst things a person going through bankruptcy can receive is a notice of “denial of discharge”. The court can deny a person’s bankruptcy claim if they misrepresent the situation or falsify information on the application, as well as for other reasons. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy and would like to know more about the process, contact the Boston bankruptcy attorneys of Joshua Spirn & Associates at 800-975-5346.
Denial of Discharge
The court may deny the person’s request for discharge if:
- The person tries to conceal assets
- If the applicant is found to have transferred assets to others
- If the person misrepresented his or her information on the application
- Fraudulent action like filing for others or filing in multiple states is discovered
- Concealing or destroying records
Fortunately for most applicants, denials of discharge are usually reserved for individuals who try to cheat the system and defraud their creditors. People who follow the requirements in good faith and submit the appropriate material typically are safe from such serious actions.
