Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, also called debt consolidation or debt reorganization, means you’ll repay some or all of your debt to creditors over a 3 to 5 year period with one low monthly payment. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy focuses on reorganizing your finances to reduce monthly payments to a manageable level for your budget. You’ll likely be able to keep property your creditors might otherwise seize in repayment of the debt. The debts do not disappear, the Court assumes control over the repayment, overruling the contracts, such as credit card agreements, by which the debts were incurred. With Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, the experienced Bankruptcy Attorneys at Brock & Stout can help you get on your way to regaining your financial stability.
Brock & Stout’s Bankruptcy Attorneys can help you navigate through Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Whether you call it a straight bankruptcy, complete bankruptcy or full bankruptcy, Chapter 7 Bankruptcy was created for those who just won’t be able to repay their debts. When completed, Chapter 7 Bankruptcy grants the individual discharge of all debts, except those specified as reaffirmed or are non-dischargeable. This discharge is an Order from the Court and prohibits any creditors listed in the discharge from ever taking further action to collect the debt. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, in many cases can wipe out your debt completely.
