Explanation of Solution

The voluntary bankruptcy provides for liquidation and distribution wherein most or all debts are discharged. But according to the 2005 bankruptcy reform act, a person before filing a petition in bankruptcy must be counseled with an individual or a group belonging to a non-profit agency which is called credit counseling. The credit counseling is given within the 180 days period prior to filing. The person, JH must obtain a certificate proving to have received counseling from an approved nonprofit agency, before filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
