There are seven pre-filing steps, and we will guide you every step of the way:

1. Complete the bankruptcy questionnaire.

2. Upload tax returns and pay stubs.

3. Complete credit counseling course #1.

4. Choose a filing date.

5. Upsolve performs a quality control review.

6. You review your paperwork.

7. Print, sign, and file!

The whole process takes about 2-3 hours of your time. Note that it can take up to two weeks for Upsolve to do a quality control review of your forms.

After you file, be sure to return to my.upsolve.org and complete the post-filing steps. A fresh start is right around the corner!
