Many people misunderstand bankruptcy. They think they must surrender all their possessions and properties. We have had many clients tell us that had they known all the things bankruptcy could do for them, they would have come to us six months earlier.
A Chapter 7 Personal Bankruptcy, often called a “straight Bankruptcy” involves an individual or married couple seeking the protection of the Bankruptcy Laws where they are hopelessly burdened with debt and offers a fresh start by eliminating that debt through a Discharge. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy proceeding may take as little as four to five (4-5) months to complete after it is filed.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a reorganization of debts designed to help property owners keep their homes, cars and other valuable assets while getting a handle on debts. By filing Chapter 13, you may be able to stop foreclosure, repossession, wage garnishment and debt lawsuits, and significantly reduce or eliminate credit card debt. Gillman, Bruton & Capone can help you determine if Chapter 13 is right for you.
Once a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is filed, creditors must immediately cease all efforts to collect a debt including continuation of any law suits, wage garnishments, bank levy or harassing telephone calls and letters. Bankruptcy law forces creditors to stop all collection efforts against you as soon as you file your petition. This mechanism is called the “automatic stay” and it’s one of the main benefits of bankruptcy. Everything is put on hold, and you get much-needed breathing room.
One of the most frequent reasons for filing a Chapter 13 Petition and Plan is to allow a homeowner to avoid foreclosure and the loss of their home. Chapter 13 also prevents other creditors from collection activities such as creditor harassment, law suits, wage garnishment and auto repossession.
The number one comment we hear after meeting with clients is that they are finally going to be able to sleep at night. The most pressing concern for most people is to stop creditors from hounding them, which bankruptcy can accomplish. But that’s not the only relief. Once you realize that you’re not going to lose everything, you gain peace of mind. And that means you’re well on your way to restoring everything that matters to you.
