Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is probably a good option for you if your income makes it impossible to pay your bills. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your debts are simply eliminated (or “discharged”) and you get a fresh start. Chapter 7 allows you to:
- Stop garnishment, stop a lawsuit, or stop repossession
- Cease all harassment and collection efforts, including phone calls
- Eliminate your unsecured debts, including:
- Credit cards and charge cards
- Medical bills
- Court judgments
- Payday loans
- Personal loans
- Foreclosure and repossession deficiencies
- Overdrawn bank accounts
- Reject any unwanted mortgage, lease or auto loan
- Start rebuilding your credit
Some common reasons for filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection are: unemployment, underemployment, loss of income, divorce, catastrophic or chronic medical conditions, and identity theft.
Or you may simply have gotten behind on your bills and then couldn’t get caught up. Sometimes, the best solution is to walk away from your debt and get a fresh start. The truth is that bad things sometimes happen to good people. Quickly and easily eliminating your debt is often the smartest financial decision you can make, and the first step to building a solid credit rating.
Debt collection is disruptive to your life and deleterious to your credit. Filing Chapter 7 is a quick and easy way to stop the calls and lawsuits and reclaim your life.
