Basic Information on Bankruptcy

The Federal Bankruptcy Court has a website called Bankruptcy Basics [1] that is designed to give information to the public about the Bankruptcy Court, bankruptcy process and procedure.

The New Hampshire Bar Association provides information on bankruptcy [2] as it applies to NH residents. The page explains the different types of bankruptcy, the advantages and limitations of the bankruptcy process, fees and requirements for filing, and the consequences of filing.
