Benefits of Filing for Bankruptcy
When you are overwhelmed by debt, filing for bankruptcy may be your best option for debt relief. Immediately after you file bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court places an automatic stay on collection of your debts. This means that all your pre-bankruptcy creditors must immediately stop contacting you.
Harassing calls and letters from creditors will cease. Wage garnishments and repossession actions will stop. Foreclosure proceedings will come to a halt. This provides much-needed breathing room and time to create a plan for you and your family to regain financial stability.
Bankruptcy can protect you from:
MOST PEOPLE STILL QUALIFY FOR BANKRUPTCY!
Many people believe that the recent changes in the law have eliminated the ability to file Bankruptcy, when the fact of the matter is that most people still qualify.
CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY
is an affordable solution for people with limited income or resources. It can eliminate your obligation for large amounts of debt, especially credit card debt. In many cases, you will not have to give up any of your property to file. This exempt property will generally include at least $50,000 in home equity or, if you do not have property, up to $21,825.00 in any assets whatsoever under California’s “wildcard” exemption. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is designed to give people a fresh start when they are struggling to keep current on bills and is a means to put an immediate end to harassing phone calls, legal action and garnishment by creditors. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific situation and determine if a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is right for you
CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY: allows people who have significant income or assets to restructure their debt in a way that will allow them to pay back some or all of their liabilities in monthly installments over a set period of time. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Plan can be worked out that will provide you with fixed payments for three or five years with no more interest or penalties. This can be used to either eliminate some of your debt or to allow you to catch up when you are late on mortgage payments or other secured loans. Chapter 13 is also an option for people who wish to pay back all of their debt, but who need a structured payment plan to do so.
