When you need of a Fresh Start Chapter 7 Bankruptcy may be the right decision

What is a Chapter 7 discharge?

A Chapter 7 discharge means that a court order releases the debtor of a specific debt.  It also means that the creditor is not allowed to pursue that debt.

How does chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings work?

Many bankruptcy’s in the United States and Florida are brought under Chapter 7. Unlike Chapter 13 bankruptcies, a Chapter 7 does not involve any type of repayment plan. A Chapter 7 does not involve a reorganization or continuation of a business. The majority of Chapter 7 fillings are completed with-in 3 months of the filling date. If you have a minimal amount of disposable income after paying your monthly expenses, there is a good chance you are eligible to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

Questions to ask of your Chapter 7 Attorney?

Some of the first questions for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer is what assets they can be protected, and which types of debt can be forgiven. In general, credit card, medical bills, certain loans, and foreclosures of homes can be forgiven. Some debts are not forgiven, including student loans, and alimony and child support obligations. Court penalties and fines are also excluded.

There are also certain exemptions and methods to protect a family home or vehicle. Although you may be required to agree to any existing financing terms, such as a car loan. Or in the case of a home, you will need to be current on your mortgage or enter into a modified agreement with your mortgage provider.

A successful bankruptcy proceeding will remain on your credit report for 10 years, but in 18 months, you can begin to establish a strong credit rating. In fact, many people have had greater success fixing their credit through bankruptcy and by starting over fresh as opposed to working on their credit outside of bankruptcy.
