The bankrupt obligations and consequences.


Bankruptcy is a legal process where a person is declared unable to pay his debts.

This process enables people to start over without any accumulated debts.

The bankruptcy period usually lasts for 3 years and one day.

Arab Council Financial Counselor, Mr. Heshmat Shahid, will tell us more about this process for those who would like to know more information.
