The Benefits of Bankruptcy
If you are having financial troubles, or if you fear that financial
troubles may be just around the corner, consider the many benefits and
protections that federal bankruptcy law provides to debtors just like
you. Specifically, filing a bankruptcy petition may:
- Stop harassing letters and telephone calls from creditors, debt
collection agencies, and attorneys.
- Stop lawsuits from creditors and their attorneys.
- Stop utility shut-offs.
- Protect bank accounts from creditor attachment.
- Protect personal property from sheriff or constable levy or seizure.
- Stop foreclosure proceedings against your home.
- Stop a Sheriff Sale of your home.
- Allow you some "breathing room" to apply for mortgage loan
refinancing, modification, or hardship / assistance programs.
- Stop a repossession of your vehicle.
- Eliminate large deficiencies resulting from previously repossessed
or surrendered vehicles.
- Eliminate credit card debt.
- Eliminate medical bills.
- Eliminate unsecured personal loans.
- Eliminate large utility account delinquencies (though a deposit may
be required on the new account set up by the utility company).
- Provide a "fresh start" for honest debtors who, for whatever reason,
find themselves unable to keep up with their debts.
As you can see by this list, federal bankruptcy laws contain numerous and
powerful protections for debtors.
