Let Us Help You Find a Solution to Debt

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

For those who don't qualify for Chapter 7 "liquidation" bankruptcy or who have assets that they want to protect, Chapter 13 "reorganization" bankruptcy is a good alternative. Chapter 13 bankruptcy lets you create a debt repayment plan to pay off your debts over a 36- to 60- month period.

This is especially helpful when you have debts than cannot be discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy like:

  • Home mortgage (including additional mortgages through Chapter 13 lien stripping)
  • Car loans
  • Student loans
  • Child support
  • Alimony (spousal support)
  • Taxes

This kind of bankruptcy also has more flexibility than Chapter 7. As long as you keep up with your monthly plan payments, you typically do not have to repay the full amounts of your debt.

Once your plan ends, you can begin to rebuild your credit score. Your income can be higher than your monthly debts. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation and start down the road to debt relief.

Automatic Stay

Anytime you file for bankruptcy, an "automatic stay" goes into effect that stops creditors from trying to collect from you, stops creditor harassment and can even stop foreclosure. Creditors can't call your home or garnish wages from your paycheck.
