Can I Lose My Job if I File for Bankruptcy?

If you are a resident of Fort Worth or Dallas area who is contemplating filing for bankruptcy you

may be wondering how it will affect your job. This is understandable because while you do want

to get rid of your debts, you do not want to lose your job. The good news is that you cannot get

fired for filing bankruptcy because federal law prohibits an employer to discriminate against you for

declaring personal bankruptcy. Your constitutional rights protect you from being fired for filing

bankruptcy. In fact, it is a violation of your rights, not to mention a crime, to be fired for filing bankruptcy.

If anything, once your debts are discharged through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy or a proposed payment

plan is approved through a Chapter 13 filing, you will sleep better, feel less stressed and will be able

to better concentrate at work. Additionally, if creditors are threatening you with liens, it may be a wise

step to file for bankruptcy to freeze any type of collection action against your paycheck. If you are a
