Bankruptcy Lawyer in St. Charles MO

What are some of the advantages to filing for bankruptcy?

1. Once your case is filed, you will notice right away that things will more or less reset back to normal (no more phone calls from nasty creditors, no more letters threatening all sorts of legal action, no more endless demands for money you don’t have)
2. But a creditor has in fact already received a judgment against you (for someone like breach of contract), that activity will come to an end as well (no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies)
3. By far the greatest value in filing for bankruptcy is the “fresh start / clean slate” that you receive from the court. It is the single best way in which you can improve your credit score!!

What are some of the typical debts that will be included in my bankruptcy?

1. Credit cards and medical bills
2. Old utility bills (whether they are gas, electric, water, trash, or cable); overdrawn bank accounts; old gym memberships, books clubs, or music clubs
3. Payday loans, signature loans, personal loans
4. Deficiencies from things like car repos, home foreclosures, and broken rental contracts

1. A Ch7 will last about five months in length (from start to finish); a Ch13 will run between three (3) and five (5) years
2. A Ch7 is best described as a discharge of unsecured debt (like credit cards and medical bills); a Ch13 is a repayment plan (so that you can get caught up on things like overdue mortgage payments)
3. A Ch7 is the only scenario in which you would have to worry about losing an asset; in a Ch13, you don’t lose any assets, but your monthly plan payment could go up if your assets have a lot of value
