Bankruptcy
Overwhelmed with debt? Have a question about the bankruptcy process? Send me your question.
Do you feel overwhelmed by your debt? Are creditors calling to harass you? do you feel like it will be impossible to catch up to your mounting bills? If you are having difficultly keeping up with your debt, bankruptcy may be the right option for you.
I work with individuals and families to determine if consumer bankruptcy is the right option for you. In some cases it is the only practical way to escape the overwhelming burden of debt. My law firm, The Nash Law Office, is an experienced bankruptcy firm handling numerous cases every year. Contact me at 724-406-0616 for a free consultation.
There are two types of bankruptcy commonly used by individuals with consumer debt. These are Chapter 13 and Chapter 7.
Chapter 7: In this type of bankruptcy, all your unsecured debt (i.e. credit cards, medical bills, personal loans etc..) are immediately discharged upon the completion of your case. In order to qualify for a Chapter 7, you must qualify based on your income levels. The amount of money you can make and still qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy depends on where you live and how many people are in your family.
A common misconception about Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is that individuals will lose their home, retirement, and most of their valuable property. An experienced bankruptcy attorney can - in most cases - exempt all of your property under federal law.
Chapter 13: In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, individuals enter into a repayment plan with their creditors for a period of either 3 or 5 years. The amount yo pay is dependent on your income and the amount of debt you have. In most cases, individuals filing for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy make too much money to qualify for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and/or own more property than the typical debtor. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals to eventually obtain a discharge of their unsecured debt and also keep all of their property.
