What are the most common mistakes when filing?
Not showing up to the hearing and not listing all your assets and debts. Failure to show up to the hearing can result in your case being dismissed. Failure to disclose all your debts can be grounds for a dismissal and prosecution, and it can cause you to owe the debt after the bankruptcy is finalized. Also, under-estimating your tax refund can be a crucial mistake. The best policy is to provide your attorney with the best, most accurate information possible.
