Documents you will need to get together

PLEASE GET TOGETHER THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:

• We need to review your bills. Bring in the actual bills received from your creditors over the last 90 days. We will get a copy of your credit report for you as well, but it may not list all of your debt so get together as many bills as possible.
  
  
• We need your monthly bills/utilities as well, so get together all your recurring monthly bills as well and bring them with you.
  
  
• You will need to show the court proof of your income (including child support) over the last six (6) months. Therefore, bring with you payroll stubs or a letter from your payroll department on company letterhead. If you work for yourself, bring in your bank deposits.
