Bankruptcy Lawyer in Ellisville MO
What sort of benefits can i expect when filing an ellisville mo bankruptcy?
- There are a great many benefits to filing for bankruptcy, but perhaps the most significant is that it will improve your credit score by quite a bit. For instance, you can expect to see your credit score rise by about 100 points within the first year.
- The filing of a case will put an automatic stoppage to any and all creditor activity (like phone calls, letters, and threats of legal action)
- It will also stop wage garnishments, bank levies, and lawsuits for breach of contract
Are there certain debts that will be taken care of when i file a bankruptcy?
- Credit cards and medical bills
- Payday loans, signature loans, and personal loans (even ones from your friends and family)
- Deficiencies from a car repo, home foreclosure, or rental contract that you had to break early
- Old gym memberships, old utility bills, overdrawn bank accounts
- And really anything that resembles an unsecured (as opposed to secured) debt
- The most prominent distinction between the two chapters would be the fact that a Ch13 is a repayment plan (in which certain debts are paid back over a period of time); a Chapter 7 is nothing more than a straight discharge of unsecured debt (like credit cards and medical bills)
- A Ch13 will run between three (3) to five (5) years in length; a Ch7 will be complete in about four to five months (from start to finish)
- In a St Louis Chapter 7, the Bankruptcy Trustee is looking for any assets he/she can liquidate; in a Chapter 13, the Bankruptcy Trustee is going to try and make your monthly plan payment as high as possible
