How Quickly Can I File An Emergency Bankruptcy Petition?

As long as you have the documentation and complete the credit counseling class, you can file an emergency petition and receive an injunction the same day.

The whole point of an emergency petition is to obtain a case number as soon as possible. The required case number will be issued automatically.
