How Bankruptcy May Be Able to Help You

As your bankruptcy lawyer can tell you, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code offers consumers like you two forms of personal bankruptcy protection – Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

In simple terms, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may provide a discharge of unsecured debts like credit cards, medical bills and payday loans, while Chapter 13 bankruptcy may allow you to keep your home and car by agreeing to repay these secured debts over time in the form of a 3-5 year repayment plan.

While the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy may seem clear cut, don’t assume that the rest of the bankruptcy process is as easy to understand, especially when considering the effect of the new bankruptcy law of 2005.

There are now many more nuances that come with the territory of filing bankruptcy, including but not limited to determining your eligibility to file bankruptcy, preparing your bankruptcy petition, and satisfying the new requirements that come with filing.

If you’re thinking about filing bankruptcy, you will likely have some important bankruptcy questions that a bankruptcy lawyer can help answer, including:

can you file bankruptcy?
what may bankruptcy do for you?
which form of bankruptcy – Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 – is better for you?
how long does the bankruptcy process last?
what will filing bankruptcy do to your credit?

As failing to comply with bankruptcy law can result in your case being tossed out, having a bankruptcy lawyer can be a safe way to make sure that your case is following the proper procedures.
