Four Beneficial Forms of Bankruptcy
One of the most common reasons people and businesses file for bankruptcy is to erase insurmountable debt. Another reason is to stop creditors from using invasive and relentless tactics to berate them into payments they cannot afford to make. Our law firm represents clients who choose one of the following four bankruptcy chapters:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows individuals and small business owners to erase most debts and retain most assets.
- Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows individuals and companies to reorganize their existing debts and create a manageable debt relief plan.
- Chapter 12 bankruptcy is specifically for family farmers or fishermen and allows them to create a sensible debt repayment plan.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individual filers to alleviate debt and create a debt repayment plan.
Our bankruptcy attorney serving Polk County helps you carefully assess your debts and choose the bankruptcy chapter that offers the most beneficial relief, according to guidelines from the U.S. Courts. We also help you obtain, complete, and file all relevant court documents and attachments. In addition, we help you identify all dischargeable debt as you seek maximum financial relief.
Debts You Can Discharge By Filing for Bankruptcy
A primary benefit of filing for bankruptcy is its ability to discharge – or erase – much, if not all, of your debt load. According to additional guidance from the U.S. Courts, once your debts are discharged, you are permanently free of them. Creditors can take no further collection action against you. Bankruptcy can relieve you of secured and unsecured debts, including:
- Medical bills
- Utility bills
- Unpaid rent
- Personal loans
- Credit card bills
Our bankruptcy relief team will help you fight for relief and take the weight of debt off your shoulders. We will also help you take legal action against creditors who do not comply with bankruptcy’s collection requirements.
