{ December 27th, 2008 }
Are your credit cards out of control? Have you recently been laid off? Have you recently incurred major medical expenses?Does your phone ring nonstop with calls from your creditors? Has your ARM exploded in your face so you can no longer make your mortgage payments? In a nutshell, are your bills more than you can pay?
Fortunately, there’s a bailout available to you, the” little guy”. It’s called Bankruptcy. It’s a relatively simple legal procedure that wipes out your debts. Shazaam! You wake up and everything is like it always was, except your debts are gone.
WHAT GOES AWAY
Harassing Phone Calls From Collection Agencies
Foreclosure
Credit Card Debts
Medical Expenses
Amounts Owed Under Court Judgments
Your Mortgage (IF you choose to walk away from the house)
Your Automobile Note (IF you choose to walk away from your car)
In the strange but true category, once you file for bankruptcy, you will receive dozens and dozens ofoffers from car dealers to sell you a brand new car, often at better interest rates than your current car note. Often, by going bankrupt, you can actually upgrade your vehicle.
WHAT YOU KEEP
Your Car (in most cases)
Your House (in most cases)
Your Phone, Gas, Electric, Water
Your Job
Your Possessions
Your Pension
Many famous people found themselves in a position similar to yours and did the smart thing. They declared bankruptcy and got a fresh start in their lives. The fact that they are famous proves that they were able to reach their potential BECAUSE of the clean slate they gained from declaring bankruptcy. Here’s just a few of the famous people who once went bankrupt.
Dorothy Hamill, Rembrandt, Burt Reynolds, Ted Nugent, Jerry Lee Lewis, Buffalo Bill, Lawrence Taylor, Oscar Wilde, Burt Reynolds all declared bankruptcy
While you may not think highly of lawyers, it makes sense to at least talk to a bankruptcy attorney Almost all of them offer a free consultation during which they will lay out your options so that you can make an informed choice as to whether bankruptcy makes sense to you, and if it does, whether it’s something you can do yourself.
The Bankruptcy Laws are complex and vary from State to State. This is why it’s important to use a bankruptcy attorney where you live. For instance, it makes the most sense to retain a Los Angeles Bankruptcy Attorney who OFFERS A FREE CONSULTATION, if you live in Los Angeles. For a qualified bankruptcy attorney in your state, My Credit Hell provides a list of board certified bankruptcy attorneys in your state who offer FREE CONSULTATIONS. Moreover, there was a massive re-write of the Federal Bankruptcy Laws in 2005. Bankruptcy Lawyers knows the bankruptcy laws. By understanding and knowing how to apply all existing and relevant state and federal exemptions (things you can keep) can often permit you to keep your car and house. Your pension, future wages remain yours.
In many cases, the fee you pay your bankruptcy attorney will be more than offset by the value of the additional property and assets they’ll manage for you to keep. In other words, retaining a bankruptcy attorney can not only pay for itself and then some, it will result in less work and stress for you.
