Bankruptcy Lawyer in North St. Louis County MO

What kind of benefits will i see by filing for bankruptcy?

1. The most immediate benefit you will receive from filing bankruptcy is the total stoppage of any and all creditor activity. No more phone calls, no more letters, no more emails.
2. But if a creditor has already sued you (and received a judgment against you), the bankruptcy will also stop all wage garnishments, bank levies, and any future lawsuits
3. And to top it all off, bankruptcy is the single best way to improve your credit score. For instance, most people can expect to see an increase in their score by about 100 points within the first year!

What are the most common types of debts that are put into a bankruptcy?

1. Credit cards, medical bills, payday loans
2. As well as signature loans and personal loans (from family and friends)
3. If your car was repossessed, the remaining balance is knocked out (including deficiencies from a home foreclosure or broken rental contract)
4. Old utility bills, old gym memberships, old cell phone bills, overdrawn bank accounts
5. Anything that resembles an unsecured debt

1. A Chapter 7 is going to run about five months in length (from start to finish); a Chapter 13 will last between three and five years
2. A Ch7 is a simple discharge of unsecured debt (like credit cards and medical bills); a Ch13 is a repayment plan (during which certain debts are paid back)
3. The Bankruptcy Trustee in a Ch7 is searching for any assets you might own that have a great deal of value; the Bankruptcy Trustee in a Ch13 has a goal of making your monthly payment as high as possible
