In Illinois, a bankruptcy case typically begins with preparing and filing the petition and schedules. Filing may trigger an automatic stay that stops most collection activity. After filing, most clients attend a meeting of creditors and complete required steps depending on the chapter. Timelines and outcomes vary based on the chapter and the facts of the case.
