Frequently Asked Questions

What is bankruptcy, and how can it help me?

Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to help individuals and businesses who are struggling with debt. It can help you eliminate or reduce your debts, stop creditor harassment, and provide a fresh financial start.

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as liquidation bankruptcy, and it involves selling some of your assets to pay off your debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy, on the other hand, is a reorganization bankruptcy that allows you to keep your assets while you pay off your debts through a payment plan.

Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure proceedings?

Yes, filing for bankruptcy can put an automatic stay on foreclosure proceedings, which means that creditors cannot take any further collection action while the bankruptcy case is ongoing. This can provide you with some additional time to work out a solution to keep your home.

How can I know if bankruptcy is the right choice for me?

The decision to file for bankruptcy is a personal one that depends on your specific financial situation. It’s important to consult with a qualified attorney who can help you evaluate your options and determine whether bankruptcy is the right choice for you.

What is the bankruptcy process?

The bankruptcy process can vary depending on the type of bankruptcy you file and the specifics of your case. Generally, it involves filling out a petition, providing financial information, attending a meeting of creditors, and working with a trustee to resolve any outstanding issues.
