Officially, the economic downturn of a few years ago is waning and the financial picture for Wisconsin business appears to be improving. However, the personal financial problems of some Wisconsinites have not entirely gone away. The threat of vehicle repossession or home foreclosure still looming can be very difficult to live with. The situation may look grim for some, but it may be possible for residents to save their home or vehicles by means of an emergency bankruptcy filing.

An emergency bankruptcy filing completes the entire process in the matter of a few days, instead of months for a standard bankruptcy filing. However, accelerating the process does not mean that a debtor can bypass the rules and regulations, which are applicable when filing a standard bankruptcy petition.
