Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, commonly referred to as a “liquidation,” offers a path to rid yourself of most, if not all, of your debts. However, certain debts are considered non-dischargeable, necessitating repayment. Essentially, filing for Chapter 7 provides a fresh start, stops relentless collection attempts by agencies, and wipes out overdue bills. The process doesn’t demand repayment of most overdue debts, acknowledging your inability to financially satisfy creditors.
Wondering if you qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy? Contact us today for a free consultation.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, often termed “consolidation,” consolidates your debts into a manageable monthly payment plan over a specified period. Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 discharges a wider range of debts since you’re essentially repaying creditors under an affordable payment scheme. It lets you stop foreclosures and vehicle repossessions, reinstate your driver’s license, address parking ticket-related issues, settle delinquent taxes, cease aggressive collection attempts by agencies, and clear debts via a structured repayment plan. However, if you file for Chapter 13, you do need to have the financial ability to maintain a monthly payment plan.

FAQs
Common Questions
What is Bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is like hitting a financial reset button. It’s a legal process where individuals or businesses who can’t pay their debts seek relief from some or all of what they owe. Think of it as a fresh start, a chance to regain financial stability and move forward without the heavy burden of debt dragging you down.
Is bankruptcy bad?
Bankruptcy often gets a bad reputation, but it’s not the end of the road. Sure, it’s a tough decision to make, but sometimes it’s the smartest move to get back on track. It’s not about failure; it’s about taking control of your finances and getting a second chance to build a brighter financial future.
Can I keep my home, car, or other property if I file for bankruptcy?
Absolutely, in many cases you can. It depends on various factors like the type of bankruptcy you file, the equity you have in your assets, and whether you can continue making payments on them. There are exemptions in place that protect certain types and amounts of property, like your primary residence, your car (within certain limits), and other essential belongings.
Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure, repossession, wage garnishment, and lawsuits?
Yes, bankruptcy can be a powerful tool to stop these kinds of financial nightmares in their tracks. When you file, the automatic stay I mentioned earlier kicks in, putting a temporary freeze on foreclosure proceedings, repossession efforts, wage garnishments, and most lawsuits. It gives you a chance to regroup and figure out the next steps without the constant pressure of creditors breathing down your neck.
Remember, bankruptcy isn’t something to take lightly, but it’s also not something to fear. It’s a tool designed to help you get back on your feet and take control of your financial future. If you’re considering bankruptcy, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified bankruptcy attorney who can guide you through the process and help you make the best decisions for your situation.
