Debt issues are one of the most prevalent questions that hotline advocates are receiving today.  We hear things like "I need to file bankruptcy" or "I need a bankruptcy attorney to help me."  As a hotline advocate, you need to understand the legal concepts and practical considerations before you try to help a client in this situation.  This webinar is designed to help.

After completing this 90 minute webinar, you will understand

• the different types of personal bankruptcy,
• the basics of the general exemptions,
• the bankruptcy process,
• the alternatives to bankruptcy,
• the "get out of debt" scams,
• how to make sure you have all of the information necessary to advise on this issue,
• the practical advice and instructions that hotline advocates can give clients regarding bankruptcy, and
• when to refer the client for more extensive service.
