Problems with DIY Bankruptcy Software
The process of seeking bankruptcy protection can be distressing for any debtor. Under updates to the law in 2005, new BAPCPA restrictions make the process much more difficult for debtors in order to dissuade possible instances of fraud. While trying to restructure one’s finances and to cut back on overall expenditures, a debtor may begin to believe these inexpensive digital bankruptcy solutions that offer filing assistance. However, there are obvious benefits that only a professional can provide that will be lost with bankruptcy software.

How Software Falls Short
Hiring an attorney will, of course, require a debtor to spend an additional sum of money. However, the additional investment is typically more than worth the expense. The following problems can arise when debtors use software instead of turning to a legal professional:
- Inability to account for specific situations
- Inability to argue disputed points
- Lack of personal assistance
Attorneys are trained to handle specific problems that can arise during the course of a bankruptcy, advocating the position of their client when the client may not otherwise know the difference between two major legal principles. In addition, lawyers and legal staff can provide advice for that debtor on how to handle a particular part of bankruptcy that may prove troubling. Software, on the other hand, cannot offer the same advantages.
