Bankruptcy Lawyer in St. John MO

Are there certain benefits i can look forward to when i file for bankruptcy?

1. The most immediate benefit would be that all of the creditor activity you are currently dealing with (such as the endless phone calls, the threatening letters, the ridiculous demands for money) will all come to a complete halt once your case is filed
2. But if one of your creditors has already sued you, and they are executing upon the judgment they received against you, this activity will cease as well (no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies)
3. And of course the top benefit to be had is the “fresh start / clean slate” that the court will give you once your petition is filed. This will in turn give you the best chance to rebuild your financial standing (such as your credit score)

What kind of debts are typically included in a bankruptcy?

1. Credit cards and medical bills
2. Payday loans (attached to your bank account), signature loans (that originate online), personal loans (especially from friends and family members)
3. Old utility bills, gym memberships, books clubs, and cell phones
4. Deficiencies from car repossessions, home foreclosures, and broken rental agreements
5. And anything else that is properly classified as an unsecured debt

What are the main differences between chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy?

1. A Chapter 7 will typically run about five months in length (from start to finish); a Chapter 13 will run between three and five years
2. A Ch7 is a simple discharge of unsecure debt; a Ch13 is a repayment plan
3. The Bankruptcy Trustee in a Ch7 is hunting for assets that he/she can liquidate; the Trustee in a Ch13 is looking for a way to increase you monthly plan payment
