One Response to “work”

A licensed trustee said...

No, you are not required to be employed in order to file for bankruptcy. That being said, many trustees will point out that if you are not working (and don’t own any assets) you may not need to file bankruptcy as you are likely “creditor proof”.

Creditor proof is an informal term used in the credit industry for persons that are insulated from most forms of collection and legal action due to their limited financial means.
