Bankruptcy Lawyer in Northwoods MO

Can you give me an idea of the advantages to filing for bankruptcy?

1. The most significant benefit of filing for bankruptcy is the “fresh start / clean slate” that you will receive. This will give you the chance you need to rebuild your credit score and financial standing.
2. It will also put a hard stop on all the creditor activity that you’ve been dealing with (like endless phone calls, a constant stream of letters, nasty emails, and threats of legal action)
3. And if in fact a creditor has a judgment against you, the filing of a bankruptcy will also stop any wage garnishment or bank levy

What sort of debts will be included in my bankruptcy?

1. Credit cards and medical bills
2. Payday loans, signature loans, and personal loans (especially from friends or family)
3. Deficiencies that may arise from car repossessions, home foreclosures, or broken rental contracts
4. Old utility bills (whether it be water, gas, electric, or cable), old overdrawn bank accounts, old gym memberships, old cell phone bills
5. And all the rest of your unsecured debt

1. A Chapter 7 is a relatively straightforward process in which the court discharges your unsecured debt; a Chapter 13 is described as a repayment plan during which certain debts are paid back
2. A Ch7 will last about five months from start to finish; a Ch13 will run between three (3) and five (5) years in length
3. The only way you could possibly lose an asset (like an automobile with a lot of equity) is in a Chapter 7; in a Chapter 13 you don’t have to worry about losing any assets (but your plan payment could go up if you have a lot of valuable assets)
