Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Consumer Bankruptcy
People find themselves in financial trouble for many reasons: credit card debt, lack of health insurance and high medical bills, tax debts, job loss and many others. More and more often, a home foreclosure is at least part of the problem. People often come in because they can't pay their bills due to wage garnishments or tax levies.
Bankruptcy Can:
- Stop creditor harassment
- Stop IRS tax levies
- Stop wage garnishment
- Stop repossession
- Stop collections actions
- Stop home foreclosure (Chapter 13 only)
We understand that making the decision to file bankruptcy requires you to be completely informed about the risks and consequences, as well as the benefits, of filing. We will take the time to understand your unique situation and objectives in order to guide you toward a suitable and sustainable solution.
Chapter 7 Business Liquidation and Chapter 11 Business Reorganization
With changes in the market, including a rise in home foreclosures, problems in the housing and construction industries, increased gas prices and a depressed economy, many businesses owners are finding it impossible to continue operations and have been forced to liquidate.
If you are having difficulty making a profit, or see that operating your business in the black is no longer realistic, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a viable option that will allow you to close down your business and eliminate outstanding debt.
An attorney from Checkett & Pauly can help you examine your options, file for Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy, and aggressively assert your rights against creditors or in bankruptcy court.
