What People in Bankruptcy Can’t Do (and How We Can Help)
When you’re going through bankruptcy, life can feel like it’s been put on pause. Many everyday things that once seemed simple suddenly become stressful or out of reach. Understanding these limits is the first step toward taking back control — and that’s exactly what we’re here to help you do.
Financial Restrictions
During bankruptcy, the court takes temporary control over your financial life. This means you often can’t:
- Open new credit cards or take loans without court approval
- Buy or sell property without your trustee’s consent
- Qualify for a mortgage, car lease, or major financing
- Keep all personal assets — some may be sold to repay creditors
- Manage or direct a business without permission (in some cases)
Lifestyle and Emotional Impact
Beyond the legal restrictions, bankruptcy often affects your daily life in ways that go deeper than finances:
- You may feel limited when it comes to buying gifts, traveling, or enjoying family activities
- Simple things like applying for an apartment or a job can bring added stress
- The feeling of being judged or “stuck” can make it hard to move forward
- Many people lose confidence and feel isolated during the process
