Bankruptcy Lawyer in Flordell Hills MO

Are there any benefits that stand out about filing for bankruptcy?

1. One of the major benefits is that your credit score will rise very quickly after filing. Typically, you can expect your score to go up by about 100 points within the first year.
2. It will also put an end to things like wage garnishments, bank levies, and lawsuits filed against you
3. And the moment the case is filed, your creditors will no longer be allowed to contact you ever again: no more phone calls, no more letters, no more threats of legal action

What kind of debts will be addressed when i file?

1. Things like credit cards and medical bills
2. All the little debts that you don’t normally think about too often: old utility bills, overdrawn bank accounts, old cell phone bills, old gym membership, etc.
3. Deficiencies from car repossessions, home foreclosures, and apartment rental contracts
4. And anything of an unsecured nature

1. A Chapter 13 is a repayment plan (an opportunity to pay back on certain debts, like overdue mortgage payments and recent tax debt); a Chapter 7 is a straight discharge of unsecured debt (like the aforementioned credit cards and medical bills)
2. A Ch7 will run for about four to five months (from start to finish); the length of a Ch13 is between three (3) to five (5) years
3. In a Ch7, there is a chance that you could lose an asset (if the value cannot be fully covered by governmental exemptions); nobody loses any assets in a Ch13, but if the asset in question has a lot of equity, this can have an impact on how much your monthly plan payment will end up being
