Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

EMAIL & U.S. Mail

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL OFTEN THROUGHOUT YOUR CASE. I will be contacting you by email with important information as it arises. Email rather than calling if possible as I do not answer the phone when clients are in the office and can often answer email faster & after hours.

Email Jeff Mathias

Mail from the Court will go to the address on your petition. If you move, make sure you forward your mail by filling out a card at your post office so you don't miss anything.

See Jeff's Iowa Divorce Law website.

General Reminders

*Bank Balance only matters on day of filing. You can use your accounts normally from now on.

*You may not receive statements from secured creditors during your bankruptcy. If you are keeping them, be sure to continue to make payments on home & car even if you do not receive statements and/or they do not debit your account.

*It may take 1-2 billing cycles for all the bills to stop. No need to freak out. However, if you are served with a lawsuit for debt you listed in your bankruptcy or notice of garnishment, forward those to us by scan/email or U.S. Mail. If you are still getting any bills 60 days after filing, scan/email or mail those to us and we can get them stopped.

*If you are surrendering your home, you normally have at least 60 days from time of filing to do so.

*If you are surrendering your car, remember: creditors sometimes pick them up without notice, do not leave anything in the car that you want to keep. You can also simply drop it off at a local branch of the bank and give them the keys. Remove your license plate and get a refund on unused registration fees.

*Do Not attempt to sell your home or other assets until after your bankruptcy is discharged (about 9 weeks after your hearing).

*It is fine to buy a new car or open new bank accounts after you file bankruptcy. You do not need to wait until discharge.
