Clear Options For Debt Relief
Bankruptcy provides a way for individuals to discharge unsecured debt. It can successfully eliminate most medical debt and credit card debt. When you file, an automatic stay immediately halts foreclosure, repossession and debt collection defense calls. There are two primary options for individuals:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: Liquidates nonexempt assets to discharge most of your unsecured debts.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: Creates a three-to-five year repayment plan that allows you to catch up on payments.
The bankruptcy process in Missouri is not difficult when you have the right team to handle the paperwork. We can provide realistic expectations on Chapter 7 eligibility or a Chapter 13 repayment plan. Our goal is to find practical solutions that allow you to breathe again.
Will I Lose My Home Or Car If I File For Bankruptcy?
Probably not. Missouri bankruptcy laws include exemptions that protect your primary residence and your vehicle. Asset protection in bankruptcy relies on applying these laws to your exempt property on the Missouri list. If you are current on your mortgage payments, or if you use a repayment plan to resolve arrears, you can usually achieve foreclosure prevention.
