The first thing to know about bankruptcy is that it is not designed to take away your assets. While there are some circumstances in which some of your property may be eligible for liquidation, it is certainly not the standard in the everyday case. Further, bankruptcy laws do offer some protection over essentials assets such as property and income. Also, bankruptcy does not damage your credit, missed payments do. Having a delinquent account is what leads to negative remarks on your credit report, a bankruptcy will actually eliminate the negative information and give you a chance to start over.
