Bankruptcy Lawyer in Normandy MO

Are there certain advantages to filing for bankruptcy?

1. The main benefit of filing a bankruptcy petition is the “fresh start / clean slate” that you will receive thereafter. It will provide you a chance to get back on your financial feet, and rebuild your credit score.
2. Filing a bankruptcy will put an end to all creditor activity (whether it is in the form of a phone call, a letter, an email, or all the little threats they tend to make while collecting from you)
3. Or if the creditor has already secured a judgment against you, then whatever the creditor might be doing to execute on that judgment will also come to an end (no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies, no more future lawsuits)

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

1. Credit cards and medical bills
2. Payday loans, signature loans, and personal loans
3. Balances owed on repossessed cars, foreclosed homes, and breached rental contracts
4. Old utility bills (whether it is electric, gas, water, or cable)
5. Overdrawn bank accounts, old gym memberships, old cell phone bills, etc
6. And any other debt that is unsecured

1. A Chapter 7 typically runs about five months in length (from start to finish); a Chapter 13 lasts between three to five years
2. A Ch7 is described as a simple discharge of unsecured debt (like the aforementioned credit cards and medical bills); a Ch13 is a repayment plan during which certain debts are paid back (like overdue mortgage payments, recent tax debt, and back child support)
3. In a Ch7, the Bankruptcy Trustee is hunting for assets that have a lot of value; in a Ch13, the Trustee is trying to figure out a way to make your monthly plan payment higher
