By talking to one of our bankruptcy attorneys, you are not committed to filing a bankruptcy, but you are taking the first step in finding out what options are open for you to solve your problems. We can sometimes identify non-bankruptcy options for you that you probably didn’t know you had. We always review all options, not just bankruptcy options.
After meeting with us, you will know what is possible for you. You may discover that filing chapter 13 is not the best way to get out of debt. We could advise you that there are other, better options. Perhaps not to file bankruptcy at all.
Everyone is different, has different needs, goals and desires. We promise you that you will get the personal attention and individual evaluation you deserve.
Don’t you owe it to yourself and your family to get all the facts? Fear and misunderstand can keep you trapped in debt for years. I see people all the time who have robbed their own pensions, spent their savings and borrowed from family only to find out – too late – that they could have kept it all, if only they had seen us sooner.
The Chapter 13 Discharge
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a kind of debt consolidation. You will make payments to a trustee, who then pays your individual creditors. You would keep making your own utility payments, and pay your own living expenses.
The chapter 13 payment is calculated by considering several different factors, but you will have a payment that you can afford. The chapter 13 plan attempts to balance your income, living expenses, how much you owe, and what kind of property you have.
A chapter 13 discharge can wipe out some debt that a chapter 7 bankruptcy can’t touch. Chapter 13 can stop a foreclosure and force the bank to take your late payments.
The same goes for your late car payments. In fact, even if your car is in a repo lot we can sometimes get it back. Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you deal with tax debts. And, in some cases, you can wipe out debts contained in a divorce or dissolution. Chapter 7 bankruptcy cannot do this.
Generally, chapter 13 plans last for three to five years. After the plan is over, whatever was not paid in the plan is discharged, forever. Your creditors can NEVER make you pay. Some debt may not be discharged, like student loans, but for the most part, a chapter 13 will erase most debts.
We will tell you how to rebuild your credit while you are in your chapter 13 bankruptcy, so that when you finish your plan, you are already well on your way to rebuilt credit.
