Bankruptcy Help for Business and Individuals

Benefits of Bankruptcy

by | Nov 19, 2019

Many individuals face crushing debt that feels impossible to handle. Even in the best of times, circumstances beyond our control, such as accidents, illness, or an unexpected business failure can put anyone in a very difficult financial position. Consequently, the Founding Fathers included a provision in the U.S. Constitution to allow people to get a fresh start through bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy is a federal court process created to help individuals and businesses deal with their debt under the protection of the Bankruptcy Court. While there are many chapters in the bankruptcy code, the most common bankruptcy sections for individuals are Chapters 7 and 13.

Chapter 7 filings provide the following benefits:

  • Much of your debt will be eliminated so you will no longer owe the money
  • Foreclosures, wage garnishments, bank levies, evictions and repossessions will be stopped, pending further court action
  • No more harassing phone calls from debt collectors
  • No more letters demanding payment of your bills
  • Increased ability to pay your remaining bills on time
  • Increased ability to save money
  • Relief from the stress of crushing debt
  • You will have a fresh start

A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can give you benefits including:

With a Chapter 13 reorganization bankruptcy filing, you will have the opportunity to pay off much of your debt over time. This may be helpful to individuals who are concerned about losing their home after their mortgage payments suddenly increased, or who have back payments that they are unable to catch up.

  • Providing you with enough time to pay off back debt
  • Eliminate the balance of the debt owed
  • No more harassing phone calls from debt collectors
  • No more letters demanding payment of your bills
  • Increased ability to pay your remaining bills on time
  • An increased possibility of keeping your home from foreclosure
  • The possibility of reducing the amounts owed on certain bills
  • Time to recover financially and get your finances in order

A Chapter 11 Bankruptcy can give you benefits including:
