Discharge Your Debts
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as liquidation, you may fully discharge certain debts in exchange for the sale of some of your assets. Most debts — including credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills and past-due utilities — can be discharged after you file for bankruptcy. We know that you have worked hard to build your estate and assets, and we will work closely with you to protect your most valuable assets. Your home, car and some personal belongings may be exempt from liquidation.
Other debts, however, cannot be discharged. Even after filing for bankruptcy, you will still be responsible for debts accrued in child support, student loans and many tax obligations.
Stop Creditor Harassment
If you are thinking about filing for bankruptcy, you have probably been experiencing creditor harassment for quite awhile. Once your petition is filed, all collection efforts must stop. You will no longer need to worry about harassing phone calls or threatening letters from creditors.
