Updated: Jan 23, 2023

Discharging past debts through bankruptcy can demonstrate that you are taking proactive steps to address financial problems, which is a positive factor in clearance evaluations.


Many members of the Armed Services face serious financial difficulties and filing for bankruptcy can be a great way to start rebuilding their finances. Discharging consumer debts through bankruptcy can be a crucial step in achieving financial goals and stability.
