If you want to save your money on filing a bankruptcy, the only expenses that may be lowered are attorney and application fees.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is as serious a bankruptcy there is. Once you are accepted for it your assets are sold off and most of the debt you have is eliminated. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a lot less serious in that all you are essentially getting is a consolidated loan with good interest rates, which is used to pay off all of your creditors.
Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 Bankruptcies aren't the only ones, they are just the most common. Chapter 11, for instance, is commonly used by corporate entities.

Do It Yourself Credit Repair
There is no quick fix, or easy solution for credit repair. Doing it yourself can save you lots of money, and hiring someone else to do it for you is supposed to be less stressful. The truth is no matter which way you fix your credit, it will not be fast, or easy.
While it is true that sometimes collection agencies are less willing to deal with people than with credit repair services companies. This is not always the case. Just remember that extra effort you are putting into repairing your credit is going to benefit you.

The Process For Getting A Mortgage
Purchasing a home is one of life's biggest financial and personal investments. The process of getting a mortgage can be complex. Before acquiring a mortgage, it is important to learn what the process involves.
A mortgage is a loan one acquires through a lender to pay for a new home. You will have to repay the loan with interest by making monthly payments for the term of the loan. If you do not repay the loan according to the agreed terms and conditions, the lender can foreclose on you and sell the home to recover the money you owe.
1. Choose the Right Mortgage For You: Before choosing a home, you should know how much you can afford. A mortgage calculator will help you determine the maximum amount you can afford. These calculators are available online and will give you a good idea about how much you will have to pay each month.
Choosing the right mortgage is essential to purchasing a home. There are a number of mortgages on the market so the choice depends on which one suits your needs. There are as many types of mortgages to select from as there are styles of houses to purchase. The two main mortgages are Fixed-Rate Mortgages and Variable-Rate Mortgages. Fixed-rate mortgages provide an interest rate that remains the same for the entire life of the mortgage. They have terms of either 15 or 30 years. Variable-rate mortgages, or adjustable-rate mortgages, provide rates that change according to the market conditions. Sub-prime mortgages are offered to people who have some credit problems.
Mortgage products can vary from lender to lender. It is important that you obtain a number of different quotes. Consulting with a financial adviser will help you find the deal that fits your particular financial situation.
2. Acquire the Mortgage: Once you know the purchase price of the home, you must secure the mortgage. There is a lot of paperwork involved with securing a mortgage loan. The lender will require your credit history, employment record and financial assets and liabilities. You will also need a home appraisal. Lenders can include: banks, credit unions, mortgage broker, or an online lender.
