The protection of bankruptcy extends beyond the automatic stay, too. After your debts are settled in bankruptcy, your creditors cannot continue to collect. If they contact you or try to get more money from you after bankruptcy, you may be able to file charges against them.
While New York bankruptcy laws allow most anyone to file, you will need to decide which type of bankruptcy is right for you. Your two main choices are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
NY laws provide two types of personal bankruptcy to allow people to achieve real control over their debt. With bankruptcy, you shouldn't be forced into something that doesn't work for you or fails to meet your needs.
For example, even if you have little or no income, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be able to clear your debt. It's designed to work quickly to eliminate credit card, medical and payday loan debt. Plus, you won't have to make regular payments for years to make the plan work.
To learn more about your debt relief options speak with a NYC bankruptcy lawyer. You don't need to file until you get all the facts about how it might affect you.
