Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

The six grand in the brokerage account and the 500 in various stocks are not exempt from the claims of creditors. One way around this problem may be to put those moneys into the 401K. Until you turn those assets into exempt assets, you should not file because the first thing the trustee is going to do is sieze the non-exempt assets. It doesn't hurt to plan ahead and I am glad you asked the question. You do need an attorney to do a bankruptcy for you. A petition preparer could not give you legal advice like this.

Where can I find the most comprehensive information about filing my own bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney William Edward Zurinskas (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Edward Zurinskas
The best selfhelp chapter 7 bankruptcy guide is published by Nolo Press. If you have a very simple bankruptcy, it will help, but the problem is knowing whether or not you have a simple bankruptcy. I have had many clients that I thought had a simple bankruptcy, only to find out during the 2-3 hour appointment to prepare the bankruptcy, that the case was more difficult than first appeared. I have been contacted by at least three dozen debtors in the past 29 years that have used selfhelp guides and low cost bankrupty petition preparers to prepare their bankruptcy for advice on how to correct problems with their bankruptcies. Most of the time the damage is done and I can't help them. In Colorado, I have sued several low cost non-attorney bankruptcy petition preparers for multiple violations of the bankruptcy code and helped get one banned from engaging in the unauthorized practice of law by the Colorado Supreme Court (unfortunately he is still operating under his son's name). For a truly simple chapter 7 bankruptcy I charge $799 in attorney's fees, which is only slightly highter than the fees charged by the non-attorney bankrupty petition preparers.

Can I file bankruptcy after starting a short sale?

See a bankruptcy attorney with all of the details, it sounds as if you have sold the house, but the bank will still have a lien on it, and there is the potential of a deficiency judgment against you on the note.
