Bankruptcy Law in Seattle
Hi everyone!
I guess everyone knows about the economy and how bad it is and especially the housing market!
I used to care about my credit score so much that I paid my bill even before the due date and always on time and never had a problem with it! Until the housing market collapsed (I'm a real estate agent) and then my income went so low that I could not afford to pay any of my creditors including medical bill ( dentist ).
I have left the U.S. back to my country looking to see my family and find a job and start all over again.
I know that I have to file for bankruptcy before leaving but did not have enough money to do it.
I checked my name in the court system online and found to cases against me:
1- CitiFinacial Auto ( my car loan ).
2- Dentist bill.
I know the rest will follow! My question is could I file bankruptcy while outside united states? If not, what is the time frame that I can file for bankruptcy? Do I get into trouble if I don't file at all and leave it the way it is?
And do I have a problem going back to U.S. to see my daughter every year? Please advise me, I used to live in Seattle, Washingon
Thanks a lot.
