Today I’ll discuss the subject of “Preferences” and how, if you’re not careful, they can cause you and your family members great distress. In my practice as a Colorado Springs Bankruptcy Attorney, it’s not uncommon for my clients to owe family members money they’ve borrowed in order to try and make ends meet. And, as long as […]
What is “Notice”? What does it mean to give a Creditor “Notice” of your bankruptcy case?
