What Are the Benefits of Bankruptcy?

Regardless of the type of bankruptcy you pursue, the process offers certain benefits. Some of the most important protections under the bankruptcy code go into effect as soon as you file the petition. This includes the automatic bankruptcy stay. The automatic stay immediately requires your creditors to stop all collection efforts. They must cease communications, pause ongoing lawsuits, and halt any garnishment efforts. This takes some of the pressure off you during the early phase of your bankruptcy case and allows you to focus your resources in a way that takes your potential future discharge into consideration.

The discharge itself is arguably the biggest benefit. When your case concludes, you will generally be free from any obligation related to your unsecured debts. What happens to your secured debts depends on whether you plan on keeping those assets. For example, part of the bankruptcy process is giving you the opportunity to make up any missed payments on your mortgage or auto loan.

These are only a few reasons why countless people seek the protection of the bankruptcy code each year. Our Michigan and Ohio bankruptcy attorneys are here to answer your questions and help you assess your options.

We Specialize In People

That means personalized and catered attention for your specific case, whatever it may be.

Different Types of Bankruptcy Cases

The bankruptcy code provides two primary options for someone facing overwhelming debts. While both of these options offer relief to debtors, the way they work varies dramatically. A bankruptcy attorney serving Michigan and Ohio could help you understand which of these options might work best in your situation.

There is a common misconception that when you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are forced to sell all of your property to satisfy your creditors. The reality is that most people never have to liquidate any of their property as part of this process.

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 is also commonly referred to as liquidation bankruptcy. It is intended for those who do not have the income to pay down their debts. A key feature of this type of bankruptcy is that it allows most unsecured debts to be eliminated within a few months in most cases. Your unsecured debts include your credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, and any other obligation that is not secured by an asset such as a car or home.

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 serves those with a steady income who have fallen behind on payments. It is often the only option for those with significant debt but some ability to pay it down. Instead of erasing debt immediately, it establishes a three- to five-year repayment plan that must be approved by the court. This option allows you to catch up on payments such as your mortgage in a manageable way.
