What Bankruptcy in Detroit May Mean for You

Bankruptcy is often misunderstood. It isn't the end or a sign of failure. It's a tool that may help you get to a new beginning, a fresh financial start.

Filing bankruptcy gives you access to several unique tools. These tools are created and protected by law, which means you shouldn't have to worry about a third party or for-profit business holding up their end of the deal.

The automatic stay, for example, is only available to bankruptcy filers. This court orders kicks in when you file, and can put a quick halt to harassing letters, phone calls and wage garnishment. It may even stop a pending foreclosure or repossession.

If you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your credit card and medical debts may be fully resolved and eliminated in a manner of months. And, exemptions offered to Detroit residents offer protection for your home, car and other important possessions. In almost all of these cases, there is no sale of any property of any kind.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows filers to resolve their debts over a longer period of time. Even if foreclosure actions have started, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may help you achieve long-term security for your home.

This type of bankruptcy includes a repayment period, typically 3-5 years. During this you'll be fully protected by the automatic stay, and afterward all of your included debts, from car loans to credit card bills, may be finished.
