Bankruptcy Lawyer in Ellendale MO

Are there certain benefits that i can expect when i file for bankruptcy?

1. Yes, first and foremost, it gives you the ability to greatly improve your credit score!! For instance, you can expect your score to go up by about 100 points within the first year after filing.
2. And then of course all that awful noise you are currently receiving from all the creditors will come to an end! No more phone calls, no more letters, no more threats of lawsuits
3. On top of that, all activity that resulted from a judgment rendered against you will come to an end as well: no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies, and no more petitions for breach of contract

Is there a list of debts that will be taken care of when i file bankruptcy?

1. Credit cards, medical bills, payday loans
2. Old utility bills (such as: gas, electric, water, trash, and sewer)
3. Balances that are owed on assets you no longer have (that resulted from a car repossession, home foreclosure, or rental contract)
4. And just about anything that is of an unsecured nature

1. The most significant difference would that a Ch13 is a repayment plan (which allows you to get caught up on certain debts, spread out over a period of time); a Ch7 is nothing more than a discharge of unsecured debt
2. A Ch7 lasts for about four to five months; a Ch13 will run for three (3) to five (5) years in length
3. In a Ch7, there is a chance you could lose an asset with a great deal of equity (especially if there are no governmental exemptions applied to it); in a Ch13, you do not run the risk of losing an asset (but it could have an effect on how big your monthly payment will end up being)
