Is filing Chapter 7 the right option for you?
If the weight of debt is affecting every aspect of your life, even your health, than filing Chapter 7 may be the best step toward rebuilding a more secure financial future.
You may be able to get immediate protection from your creditors when you file for Chapter 7. The first step should be filing a petition in court. This document should ask you to list personal information, including all of your income, your assets, your expenses and your debts. You must also indicate applicable exemptions to which you're entitled.
Then, your attorney should file the petition in local court. When this occurs, the court appoints a trustee to your case and an "Automatic Stay" should be entered, a court order that prevents creditors from taking any further action against you outside of court. This action should ensure that:
Your creditor calls and bills stop
Your property cannot be seized
Your creditors cannot sue you
Your house cannot be foreclosed upon
Your paycheck cannot be garnished
Your car cannot be repossessed
Your bank must stop any foreclosure action
Your suspended driver's license must be reinstated
When you use a reliable attorney, the chances are excellent that your Chapter 7 case should sail through the courts. However, please note that you may only file once in eight years. In addition, it may be extremely important to follow your attorney's counsel and refrain from:
Attempting to conceal your property
Destroying financial records
Violating a court order
Making enormous, last-minute charges on your credit cards
Filing under Chapter 7 may help you eliminate many debts
Some of these may include:
Credit card debt
Medical bills
Most personal loans
Judgments resulting from car accidents
Deficiencies on repossessed vehicles
Some older tax debts
Payday loans
Garnishments
Bounced checks
