We Are Helping Clients Get A Fresh Start!
Since the federal bankruptcy laws changed in 2005, many people are uncertain as to the rights under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Although the laws make it more challenging to obtain Chapter 7 “fresh start” and Chapter 13 “repayment plan” relief, we can assist you in deciding which type of bankruptcy protection and relief is proper for you.
The most common forms of bankruptcy used by most ordinary consumers are Chapter 7 and 13.
Chapter 7: In a common Chapter 7, the debtor (you) wipes out his or her debts without offering to pay on them. There are certain restrictions to Chapter 7 concerning amounts of property and income.
Chapter 13: In a common Chapter 13, a debtor (you) reorganizes his or her finances by paying some of the debt back over a 3-5 year period by making payments to the bankruptcy trustee. A Chapter 13 can be used to: save homes from foreclosure, stop repossessions, deal with taxes, lower auto and furniture payments and protect property-which might be lost in a Chapter 7.
During initial consultations, we routinely inform you of the process of filing bankruptcy.
