Why Would Someone Avoid Bankruptcy?

There may be legitimate reasons to avoid bankruptcy. If you can handle your debt without filing, then bankruptcy is really not needed. However, for those who have excessive debt, bankruptcy may be the only solution.  It is recommended to speak to a bankruptcy lawyer to find out if bankruptcy can help you with the debt that you owe.

Many people each year file bankruptcy to resolve and eliminate their overwhelming debt. Those clients often express the relief they feel in knowing that their debt will be handled as quickly and painlessly as possible. However, we’re not going to say that the process is “easy” because we know that making that first call to your bankruptcy attorney can be a difficult first step.

Reasons Why You May Choose Not to File Bankruptcy

• Fear of the unknown. We think you will find that the fear subsides when an adequate amount of information about bankruptcy is obtained to ensure a solid decision can be made. We can help you overcome fears, and gain access to information through a free initial consultation with one of our bankruptcy lawyers.
• Debt load is small. “Debt” levels may be interpreted differently from one household to the next. Debt compared to income will vary. Furthermore, if the ability to repay debt is not there, then bankruptcy may still be a good option. (Even if the debt is perceived to be small.) If you are unsure, seek an experienced attorney help make this determination with you.
• It will ruin credit scores. This is one of the biggest myths. In fact, if you are an ideal candidate for bankruptcy, your credit score is likely suffering right now. Bankruptcy can stop the downward spiral of credit ratings and help your scores to go up over time. In addition, we offer our clients the 720 Credit Score Program.
• It is open public record. Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding that is recorded in public court listings. But, unless you are a celebrity, a major corporation, or you have a family member who religiously reads public court records, there isn’t too much to worry about. The information isn’t printed every day. The financial future of you and your family should be more important than pride.
• We will lose everything. Even a chapter 7 bankruptcy, otherwise known as liquidation bankruptcy, ordinarily allows individuals to protect or exempt all of their property.  Depending upon your personal financial situation and the type of bankruptcy that is filed, you ought to be able to keep your car and your home.

  • Attorney Chad Schomburg and Debt Advisors helped me with my debt about three years ago. Chad explained the process to me and answered any questions I had, and the assistants compiled my documentation very efficiently while keeping my case moving forward. They were always available when I needed them, and even years later, I’m able to reach out to them, and they are willing to help. They have turned my life around 100%, and I could not have done it without them! Absolutely recommended!

  • After I had to go on disability, I used my credit cards a lot more thinking I could pay them off when I was able to go back to work. That didn’t happen and I found myself so much worse off than I could handle. I went to Debt Advisors feeling terrible about what I had to do. Chad and everyone there were very understanding and put my mind at ease while taking such great care of me. They were there every step of the way and supported me when I was “freaking out”!! Every time I needed to contact them; their response time was amazing!! God forbid I ever need to go through this again, but I know where to turn if I need help! Debt Advisors are more than just filing bankruptcy on my behalf. They really care about what you are going through!! Thank you, Chad, Jeremy, Mike, and everyone at Debt Advisors!! I cannot tell you enough how much I appreciate all of you!! J Hammond
