And ask yourself these questions, then ask a Memphis lawyer to explain Tennessee bankruptcy laws:

• Are you heavily in debt, with little prospect of getting out of that debt in the near future?
• Have you had, or are your creditors threatening a foreclosure on your home, a repossession of your car or other legal action to take your property?
• Have you experienced a dramatic drop in income that you don't anticipate replacing anytime soon?
• Are you frequently late paying bills?
• Are you unable to make even the minimum payments?
• Do you have to sacrifice basic necessities just to make ends meet?
• Do you owe more each month than you earn?
  
• Are you losing sleep at night wondering how you're going to make it?
• Have you bounced more than one check in the last two months?

Don't wait to take action. At the very least, begin by speaking with an attorney who can provide you with case-specific bankruptcy information.

Filing bankruptcy in Memphis may put a stop to lawsuits, repossession and wage garnishments. The automatic stay provision of bankruptcy can quickly work to provide protection. Plus, the automatic stay is also designed to put an end to the harassing letters and phone calls from creditors.

Your creditors must accept a bankruptcy judge's rulings on your debt.

Bankruptcy offers two plans to help you get your financial life under control.

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, most of your unsecured debts may be discharged and assets beyond allowable exemptions are liquidated to pay some or all of your debt.

Usually, most of your assets are exempt - meaning they cannot be liquidated.

In a Chapter 13 case, you may be behind in your payments for property that you want to keep.

For example, if you are late on your mortgage or automobile loan, and you want to get current with these payments and keep your property, you may do this under a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan.
