San Mateo Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
Through the years, I have come to expect my clients to have several questions about bankruptcy, including:
- Will this stop harassing calls and collections letters?
- What types of debt are discharged?
- Will I lose my house or car?
- What does Chapter 7 actually do for me?
- How long does the bankruptcy process last?
I can answer these and many other questions about bankruptcy. As soon as you begin considering bankruptcy as an option to alleviate your financial problems, I encourage you to contact my office.
Facts About Chapter 7
There are many reasons why filing for Chapter 7 under the Bankruptcy Code might be the best solution for you. Some of these reasons include:
- There is no repayment. A successful Chapter 7 filing will discharge your unsecured debt.
- Spouses may file jointly or independently, whatever is in your best interest.
- An automatic stay is ordered immediately following the filing of a bankruptcy petition. The automatic stay is a Court order that halts further collection of debts.
- Filing for Chapter 7 stops wage garnishments or any lawsuits brought against you by creditors.
- If you are found ineligible for Chapter 7 following a means test, you still might qualify for Chapter 13.
These are just a few of the many facts and aspects about Chapter 7 bankruptcy that my clients typically find useful. I encourage you to contact my office to schedule a more in-depth meeting.
