Many debtors, who are delinquent on some debt and current on others, wonder if they need to include the debt that’s in good standing in their bankruptcy filing. The simple answer is YES, you must include all of your debts and assets in your bankruptcy filing. Failing to include all of you debts and assets in your bankruptcy filing can jeopardize your case.
For example, if you have a home that you own without a mortgage, you will need to include that home as an asset in your bankruptcy case. Or, if you have a car payment that is current and on time you still need to include it in your bankruptcy filing.
