Bring a stop to collections and creditor harassment today!
A Washington DC bankruptcy lawyer from our firm can help you gather and review your financial documentation to determine your eligibility for debt relief through the courts. The level of debt in question, your monthly debt-to-income ratio, and interests in real estate will all play a part in deciding whether you should petition for:
- Chapter 7, which is also known as liquidation relief
- Chapter 13, which is also known as the repayment plan
- Chapter 11, which is also known as reorganization (for business owners)
Speaking with a Washington DC bankruptcy lawyer and filing the appropriate petition for debt relief will entitle you to the benefits of an “Automatic Stay,” which is a legal restriction imposed upon creditors that prohibits them from making contact with you once you have filed for debt relief through the courts. The Automatic Stay* will provide you with some much needed time to breathe, and assist in the following manners:
- It will stop collections calls and harassment
- It will stop repossession efforts
- It will stop actions of foreclosure
- It will stop garnishments to wages
- It will stop a variety of lawsuits
More than 1.5 million Americans will file for bankruptcy this year: individuals, business owners, couples, homeowners, etc. The housing market, the economy and unemployment have all contributed to a rise in bankruptcy petitions. And regardless of the circumstances that have brought you to the point of seeking debt relief through the courts, we are here to help.
