Filing for bankruptcy will have a major impact on your financial future. While it can help you stop foreclosure or get a fresh start, it will also remain on your credit report:
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for seven years.
Depending on your individual circumstances, you may or may not be able to file bankruptcy again for eight years.
Most people want to know what assets they can keep if they file for bankruptcy. While filing for bankruptcy can stop foreclosure and repossession, your specific circumstances depend on the assets you would like to protect, the amount of debt you owe and your type of payment plan. Our lawyers will help you come up with a plan that allows you to retain as many assets as possible, while providing you with the debt relief you deserve.
The Bankruptcy Code also provides debtors with important protection from discrimination. If you believe that you have lost your job or have been otherwise discriminated against because of your bankruptcy filing, we will step in immediately to protect your rights.
