Get the truth about bankruptcy laws in West Virginia
Many people still believe the old myths about filing for bankruptcy. Before you make a decisions on your financial future, get the full facts on all of your debt relief options.
Many people think a debt counseling service will eliminate their debts without the "stigma" of bankruptcy on their record.
This myth is a very dangerous one. Debt counselors cannot get rid of your debts, nor can they stop your creditors from harassing you. All debt counselors may do is help you negotiate new terms on your existing debt with your creditors. Your creditors do not have to agree to any restructuring, there is no court-protected halt to claims and your credit may still be affected.
By contrast, the moment you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, your creditors are generally prohibited, by law, from taking any legal actions against you. Once your case is complete, most of your debts may be gone forever. Furthermore, credit counselors may not have your best interests in mind. They are often owned by the very creditors that are making your life miserable to begin with. Don't let their non-profit claims fool you. When you use a debt counselor, someone may be making a lot of profit off you, and in most cases, you'll still be hopelessly in debt.
