Will County Bankruptcy Lawyer
Attorneys for Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Filings in Joliet, Bolingbrook, and Plainfield
At Scheinbaum & West, LLC, we are dedicated exclusively to helping individuals and families who are going through financial difficulties. Many good people get laid off from work, suffer a disability, or encounter other hardships that cause them to fall behind on their financial obligations. There are times when being in a financial hole can put undue stress on you and everyone around you. When your payments are too much for you to manage, and you are having difficulty catching up, bankruptcy may be the best option.
Chapter 7
Chapter 13
Stop Creditor Harassment
One of the greatest benefits of filing either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the ability to finally stop those harassing phone calls, letters, and most wage assignments and civil lawsuits. As soon as you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect, ordering creditors to immediately cease debt collection activities. This puts an end to creditor harassment.
Filing for bankruptcy is a major step, and many people are apprehensive about it. This is understandable, but the truth is, there is nothing to fear from the bankruptcy process. The purpose of bankruptcy is to eliminate or consolidate debt, so at the end of the process, you will have fewer outstanding creditors. In addition, bankruptcy gives you a fresh start, allowing you to rebuild your credit by showing lenders that you are now creditworthy. We work closely with our clients to advise them on steps they can take to re-establish good credit.
