Bankruptcy
Federal law allows for debt relief in the form of bankruptcy. Typically, "Chapter 7" bankruptcy allows individuals to put a stop to creditor lawsuits against them, and can prevent wage garnishment and harassment. It provides a clean start, but it requires that the debtor honestly disclose to the bankruptcy court all of his or her assets and debts. Bankruptcy is generally filed in response to sudden unemployment, overwhelming medical expenses, an expensive divorce, severely overextended credit, or some other unexpected disaster. Businesses reorganization may be possible under bankruptcy law, allowing a business to get on its feet and back on the road to profitability.
Bankruptcy will not cover all forms of debt; some student loan debt, for example, is not discharged or forgiven by a bankruptcy case. However, bankruptcy is an effective tool to allow honest debtors to get a fresh start. The experienced bankruptcy lawyers at Mast Schulz Mast Johnson & Wells, P.A., have been following developments in bankruptcy law for years, and can help steer you through the changing maze of regulations and requirements and obtain the broadest debt forgiveness available while preserving as many of your assets as possible.
