Bankruptcy Lawyer in Florissant MO

What would be the benefit of filing a bankruptcy?

1. To begin with, there is no better way to rebuild your financial standing than through the “fresh start / clean slate” that a bankruptcy offers! On average, you can expect to see your score rise by about one hundred points within the first year after filing!!
2. All of the nasty tactics employed by your creditors (such as endless phone calls, threatening letters, and express legal action) will all come to an immediate end upon filing
3. And if in fact your creditors have taken specific legal action, the bankruptcy petition will put an end to that activity as well (such as wage garnishments, bank levies, and breach of contract actions)

What kind of debts will be included in a bankruptcy?

1. All the things that are giving you a headache, like credit cards and medical bills
2. Old gym memberships, old utility bills, overdrawn bank accounts, etc.
3. Any deficiencies that result from things like car repossessions, home foreclosures, and rental contracts

1. A Chapter 7 is a discharge of unsecured debt; a Ch13 is a repayment plan during which certain debts are paid back
2. A Ch7 will run between four to five months (from start to finish); a Ch13 is between three to five years in length
3. The only time you would risk losing an asset (like a car) is in a Chapter 7 (especially if there is substantial equity); in a Ch13 you don’t have to worry about losing anything (but an asset with a lot of value could make your monthly plan payment go up as a result)
