What Is Bankruptcy?
The bankruptcy laws of the United States were enacted to protect individuals and businesses who are unable to repay their outstanding debts. Whether filing for Chapter 7, Chapter 11 or Chapter 13, bankruptcy provides an orderly process for dealing with your debts.
Each bankruptcy chapter has distinct advantages that meet the needs of the person or company filing for bankruptcy. Chapter 7 provides the consumer with an elimination of debt and a fresh start to begin again either debt-free or virtually debt-free, while Chapter 13 can be used to stop a foreclosure or prevent a repossession of property while giving the consumer time to develop a workable plan for repayment of debts. Commercial enterprises going out of business find help in Chapter 7 and the freedom to close up their business without worrying about continuing liability for business debts.
Our firm can assist clients with the following:
- Filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy
- Understanding what debt may be discharged under bankruptcy
- Understanding the benefits of chapter 7 bankruptcy for both individuals and businesses
- Filing for chapter 13 bankruptcy
- Confronting and disproving myths surrounding the bankruptcy process
You don’t need to fear the bankruptcy process. At Fishback Law Corporation, we work one-on-one with you to determine the solution that best suits your needs.
Bankruptcy Stops Creditor Harassment
The filing of a petition for bankruptcy automatically stays or stops the attempts by creditors and bill collectors to make you pay. This includes stopping foreclosures, repossessions, wage garnishments and lawsuits. This automatic stay may remain in place for the duration of the bankruptcy proceeding. Meanwhile, the bankruptcy court gathers all your creditors and all your debts together in one place, allowing you to address and deal with them at one time. Whether seeking a discharge of debt or a repayment plan, your creditors will be bound to accept the decisions made by the court without coming after you any more for payment.
