Bankruptcy

DON'T LET DEBT HAVE AN EXTREME HOLD ON YOUR LIFE

Bankruptcy is not the right answer for everyone, but it could be right for you.

SOLUTIONS FOR DEBT RELIEF

Are you struggling with debt?

It is stressful and frustrating when creditors take legal action to:

Seize your bank accounts
Repossess your car
Foreclose on your house
Or garnish your wages

Fortunately the U.S. Bankruptcy law provides you with tools to either get more time to pay your debts or to cancel them altogether. If you are suffering from these difficulties, it is urged that you immediately contact a bankruptcy lawyer.

Types of Bankruptcy Relief

CHAPTER 7

If you have a minimum income and do not foresee how you can pay your debts, Bankruptcy Chapter 7 may be your best plan. Here you get immediate relief from creditor calls and legal action.

At the end of the process your dischargeable debts are cancelled. If you are making payments on a car or house, you may keep them by continuing to make your payments. You may also keep property exempt from execution under federal and/or state law including most personal and household items.

CHAPTER 13

Where you have a reasonable income but creditors are threatening, Bankruptcy Chapter 13 may be your best answer. Like Chapter 7, you get immediate relief from creditor harassment, including foreclosure on your home. With your lawyer’s assistance, you create a plan for payment of your debts over a three to five year period.

The good news here is that you may obtain through this plan a reduction of interest rates and in the overall amount of your payments. Once your plan is approved by the court, you are safe so long as you make your one consolidated payment which is then distributed to the various creditors by the Bankruptcy Trustee.

If you have a business that is being pressed by creditors, you may use Bankruptcy Chapter 11 to obtain bankruptcy relief similar to Chapter 13 for individuals. You continue to operate your business under the court’s supervision while straightening out your company’s finances.

How a Lawyer Can Help You Make the Right Decision

Bankruptcy is an aggressive action. It will have a significant impact on your life from a financial standpoint. It will negatively affect your credit rating, but often times the advantages significantly outweigh any negative consequences of filing. However, we recommend that you take care in deciding whether to file.

A bankruptcy lawyer can aid you in making the decision that is truly best for you by considering the following:

Your current financial situation
Your goals for the immediate future and in the long run
The amount and type of debt you are interested in eliminating
Whether you have a home and other real property or assets that need protection
Your current credit rating
Any debt collection lawsuits you are facing
Whether you are currently dealing with wage garnishment, repossession, levies or liens
Whether you are facing foreclosure (and your goals in regard to keeping or selling your home)
Whether you have co-signers on any of your debt
And any other specific concerns that you may have

By reviewing your situation from every possible perspective, an experienced attorney can offer you information that is tailored to apply to your case. This can help you make an informed choice about filing, including which Chapter may be better suited to your needs.

From the initial point that you make the decision to file all the way through to the discharge of all of your eligible debt, an attorney will play an important role in ensuring that the process goes as smoothly as possible. This is accomplished by properly handling your case and representing your financial information in a clear and legally sound manner as well as protecting your legal rights.
