Is Bankruptcy the Solution?
Sep 29, 2020
A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy wipes out your unsecured debts, including credit cards, medical bills, pay day loans, money judgments, or previously repossessed vehicles. In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy you can decide what secured loans you want to keep, such as a mortgage, vehicle, boat, or camper loan. If one or all your secured loans are burdensome, you can choose to voluntarily surrender the property and no longer be responsible for the debt. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy also prevents your creditors from being able to call, harass or garnish your wages.
CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY
A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can help you get current on a home or vehicle that is in default. Whether you fell behind due to job loss or a health condition, getting current while paying other bills can be difficult. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will stop foreclosure or repossession and allow you to repay what you are behind over a 3 to 5-year period. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will also take care of your unsecured debts and can be a better solution for repayment of back taxes.
