What is Bankruptcy Fraud?

Convictions of fraud have very serious penalties and may have devastating effects on the life of anyone accused of this type of crime. Some activities that constitute bankruptcy fraud include:

  • Eliminating relevant information from reports
  • Ignoring requests for asset documentation or proof of ownership
  • Falsifying information on a bankruptcy report
  • Making an effort to conceal assets as the property of another

Bankruptcy laws are complex and often confusing for anyone that is unfamiliar with the process. Whether it is intentional or not, some actions may be construed as fraudulent, and the individuals in financial distress can face even more legal troubles. Thus, it is important to discuss your case with an attorney to protect your assets before accidentally committing fraud.
