Bankruptcy Lawyer in Jennings MO
Here is a list of benefits you can expect to receive upon filing for bankruptcy:
- Your credit score will improve dramatically! This will occur over a much shorter period of time than you probably realize!! On average, most people can anticipate a 100 point jump within the first year after filing.
- If you are dealing with constant, relentless harassment from your creditors (like endless phone calls and nasty letters demanding money), this will come to a complete stop once your case is filed
- But if in fact the creditors are pursuing through court-sanctioned means (like wage garnishment and bank levies), this activity will end as well
Can you give me a list of debts that would typically handled?
- Credit cards and medical bills
- Payday loans, signature loans, and personal loans (even ones that you set up with friends and/or family)
- Whatever deficiencies that may result from car repossessions, home foreclosures, and apartment rental contracts
- All the little things that seem small by themselves (but add up to quite a bit in the end), like old utility bills, overdrawn bank accounts, and old gym memberships and cell phone bills
- A Chapter 7 is going to provide you with a discharge of unsecured debts (like the aforementioned credit cards and medical bills); a Chapter 13 is described as a repayment plan (during which certain debts are paid back, like overdue mortgage payments and back child support)
- A Ch7 will typically run about five months in length; a Ch13 will run between three and five years
- There is no risk of losing an asset in a Ch13; but if you have an asset with a lot of equity, then you could potentially lose it in a Ch7
