Hey ladies, who knows about this? Any hidden pitfalls I should be aware of? I was talking to a friend, and they're in a really bad financial situation. They have over 1 million in debt, missed a payment, and now they're being asked to pay double the amount. Her husband hasn't worked since spring, which is a mystery to me, and she's not working either. She's receiving child benefits. They're thinking of filing for bankruptcy through a friend. Can you tell me about the risks and what the consequences might be?
I'm thinking, the posts from these individuals are strange. Are the crazy ones hiding now or just tr…

She will pay 300,000 for bankruptcy. With this money, she will be placed under guardianship and will not be able to take out other loans or credit for 5 years.

And nothing should be registered in their name... no cars... no apartments.

Friends filed for bankruptcy, and the court took their car and apartment. They were left with a one-bedroom.

There are many cons. Of course, it's interesting, everything is bad, and both are unemployed. They won't see loans or mortgages, even in 10 years.
And they don't do it for free, but borrow from whom? Who would lend to bankrupt people?

I'm bankrupt, I can't take out loans for 5 years, and I can't work as an accountant, banker, etc. All positions related to money, and I'm an accountant 😅
But that's a minor issue, really. My credit history will be wiped clean afterward, and I can't get a mortgage. My car, all my income, and my management position remained with me. I have a good lawyer; they handled everything beautifully for 100k (the debt was 1.3 million).

Vedeneva Yuliya They don't have money, so it seems they were advised to take out more loans to write everything off.

The car can be repossessed, it doesn't matter that it's registered to your husband, and she will go through bankruptcy. The family should not own any property.

Mariya They also mention about 300 reasons why they won't give loans for X years and she won't be able to hold a leadership position, though she's never held such positions anyway. My husband always works unofficially. So I'm asking, what other downsides could there be?

I went through bankruptcy because I was in a difficult life situation. Of course, the procedure isn't free. You can file for bankruptcy through the MFC (Multifunctional Center) for up to 1 million rubles, but for more, you'll need a lawyer. My bankruptcy took almost a year. They don't take your primary residence, but they might take your car for auction. For 3 years, you won't be able to get loans, mortgages, or other credit. For 5 years, you can't hold management positions, especially in the financial sector.

Lolo She has an apartment where she and her children are registered and all her relatives live; it's a state-owned apartment. Plus, there's the apartment they live in, which was gifted to the children (3/5 share), and they bought out these 2 parts. So now, I understand, the entire apartment belongs to the children.

Lolo You are very mistaken; my husband has a car and I went through bankruptcy, they didn't take anything from him. They don't seize the only home you own!

You can file for bankruptcy through the MFC for up to a million without a court hearing, but only if it's your only home, the square footage doesn't exceed limits for your family, and you don't own a car. Then it will only cost 25,000 rubles. Anything over a million should not be listed, and you'll need to continue making payments as agreed. If it's over a million, it has to go through court, which will cost you an additional 300,000 rubles and be a lot more hassle.

Bankruptcy means it will be difficult to get credit/installments again later. Also, if you work for a good organization or in government, you might not pass the security check and won't be hired… you'll be rejected.

yankovskaya yuliya Take into account the Supreme Court's decisions on similar cases and clarifications. Lawyers in banking organizations are not stupid people; if you take out a lot of loans and microloans right before starting the procedure, they might very well hold you accountable.

yankovskaya yuliya Well, that's if you have a lot of various loans and microcredits, but if you have one big loan for a million, then no one will prove anything 😁

Nadezhda
yankovskaya yuliya Yes, I understood that. Sverdlovchanka and I are discussing the suggestion a friend gave: to take out another loan.
I think this suggestion (or advice) is quite viable because it's very difficult to prosecute for loan fraud if the borrower provided all the accurate information.

I looked for information from the Central Bank:
"According to the Central Bank of Russia as of April 2025:
- The total volume of non-performing debt is over 1 trillion rubles, and the entire cash loan market contains high risks of non-repayment"
