Bankruptcy Lawyer in Uplands Park MO

Are there many advantages to filing for bankruptcy?

1. Yes, there are many! But perhaps the most significant of those advantages would be the “fresh start / clean slate” that you will receive upon filing. This is the mechanism by which you will be able to rebuild your credit score!!
2. All of the creditors that are currently harassing you (with their constant phone calls, threatening letters, and demands for money) will stop immediately upon filing your case!
3. And if in fact one of your creditors has already received a judgment against you, this will also come to an end (no more wage garnishments, no more bank levies)

Can you give me an idea of what kind of debts will be included in my bankruptcy?

1. Payday loans (that are usually attached to a bank account), signature loans (like the ones you find online), and personal loans (especially from your friends and family members)
2. Credit cards and medical bills
3. Deficiencies that might arise as a result of a car repossession, home foreclosure, or broken rental agreement (even if you are later sued on these debts)
4. Old utility bills (like gas, electric, water, trash, and cable), overdrawn bank accounts, old cell phone bills, old gym memberships
5. Etc, etc, etc

1. A Ch7 is a straight discharge of unsecured debt (like the aforementioned credit cards and medical bills); a Ch13 is a repayment plan (so that you can get caught up on certain debts)
2. A Ch13 will run between three (3) and five (5) years; a Ch7 will last about five (5) months in length
3. In a Ch7, the Bankruptcy is primarily interested in finding any assets you own that have a lot of value; in a Ch13, the Trustee is interested in making your monthly plan payment as high as possible
