Bankruptcy Lawyer in Sycamore Hills MO

What are some of the main benefits of filing for bankruptcy?

1. Once your case is filed, any and all creditor activity will immediately cease (no more phone calls, no more letters, no more demands for money)
2. If a creditor has already received a judgment against you, that activity will end as well (no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies, no more lawsuits)
3. And by far, the greatest benefit is that you will receive a “fresh start / clean slate” that will allow you to move forward in a positive direction!

Are there any debts that i can expect to be included in my bankruptcy?

1. Yes, starting with the most obvious things, like credit cards and medical bills
2. But there are a ton of other little debts that most people forget about, like overdrawn bank accounts, old cell phone bills, and past due utility bills (like electric, gas, water, and cable)
3. Any deficiencies that might arise as a result of an automobile repossession, or a home foreclosure, or a broken rental agreement
4. Payday loans, signature loans, personal loans

1. A Chapter 7 will run about five (5) months in length from start to finish; a Chapter 13 will last between three (3) and five (5) years
2. A Ch7 is a simple discharge of unsecured debt; a Ch13 is a repayment plan (so that you can get caught up on certain debts, but spread out over a number of years)
3. The only time you would need to worry about losing an asset is in a Ch7 (like a house or car); in a Ch13, you don’t need to worry about losing anything (but an asset with a lot of value could increase your monthly plan payment)
