Understanding Your Bankruptcy Options
There are generally two kinds of bankruptcy that are available to individuals who are facing serious financial problems. Our Lincoln bankruptcy lawyers can advise you on which type is appropriate for you.
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: For those who qualify, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a way to erase unsecured debts and get a fresh start. Things like credit card debt, medical bills and personal debt are eliminated by the court. Plus, by using exemptions, we can help you keep important property, including your home, car, furniture and many other items. When you come to us, we will help determine if you qualify for Chapter 7.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: For those who have some income or ability to pay, Chapter 13 is a good option. Chapter 13 allows you to reorganize your debts into a manageable monthly payment. You pay on the debt for a three- to five-year period, and at the end any remaining unsecured debt is eliminated and you are caught up with secured obligations (like mortgages). Chapter 13 helps you rebuild your credit quickly so you can move forward in life.
Some Benefits of Bankruptcy
Both types of bankruptcy allow you to stop looking over your shoulder, wondering where the next collection attempt is coming from. Some benefits of filing for bankruptcy are:
- Ending creditor harassment
- Stopping foreclosure
- Stopping car repossession
- Ending wage garnishments
- Halting any pending lawsuits against you
Filing for personal bankruptcy can be the first step on the road to financial health. We are ready to guide you every step of the way.
