A: As you are learning, bankruptcy is not a simple process of filling out 60 pages of information. There are tens, if not hundreds, of issues that can harm you, depending on your circumstances.

To answer your question - for over a year all creditor meetings have been held by phone or Zoom, so this is not a valid excuse. Talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney now to see if there is a way to save your home. You could also talk to a volunteer attorney at the Arizona Bankruptcy Court's Self-Help Center - 602-682-4007.

Please don't wait, things can get worse.
