Bankruptcy Lawyer in South St. Louis County MO
What sort of benefits will i receive from filing for bankruptcy?
- The first thing that should be pointed out is that you will be in a perfect position to rebuild your credit score. This is because the filing of a bankruptcy gives you the “fresh start / clean slate” that you’ll need to move forward with life!
- Another bonus of filing is that it will put a hard stop to any and all creditor activity: no more phone calls, no more letters, no more threats of legal action, no more demands for money
- But if the creditor has already received a judgment against you, this activity will stop as well: no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies
Is there a list of common debts that will be taken care of inside my bankruptcy?
- Things like credit cards and medical bills
- Payday loans, personal loans, and signature loans
- Old utility bills (including cell phone), overdrawn bank accounts, old gym memberships
- Deficiencies that result from things like car repos, home foreclosures, and broken rental contracts
- A Chapter 7 will last about five months in length; a Ch13 will run between three and five years
- A Ch7 is a simple discharge of unsecured debt; a Ch13 is described as a repayment plan
- In a Ch7, the Bankruptcy Trustee is searching for any assets that he/she can liquidate; in a Ch13, the Trustee is looking for a way to increase your monthly plan payment
