Bankruptcy Lawyer in University City MO

Are there certain advantages to filing for bankruptcy?

1. There are many, but the single greatest benefit that you will derive from filing a bankruptcy is the “fresh start / clean slate” that the court will confer upon you. This will in turn give you a chance to rebuild your credit score (in a relatively short period of time)!!
2. You know all that nasty creditor activity that you’re dealing with right now? Like rude phone calls, threatening letters, and outrageous demands for money? All of that will end as soon as your case is filed.
3. And if one of your creditors has already received a judgment against you, that activity will cease as well (no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies).

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

1. Yes, and it will start with all of your credit cards and medical bills (which is typically where you see a lot of unsecured debt accumulating)
2. But also payday loans, signature loans, and personal loans (like the ones from your friends and family members)
3. Deficiencies that result from car repossession, home foreclosures, and broken rental contracts
4. Old utility bills, old cell phone bills, overdrawn bank accounts
5. Etc, etc, etc

1. A Ch7 is a simple discharge of unsecured debt (like credit cards and medical bills); a Ch13 is a repayment plan (so that you can get caught up on certain debts, like overdue mortgage payments)
2. A Ch7 will typically run about five months in length; a Ch13 will last between three and five years
3. In a Ch7, the Bankruptcy Trustee is going to be interested in any assets you own that have a lot of equity; in a Ch13, the Trustee is looking for any way to increase your monthly plan payment
