You Can Discharge Credit Card Debts and Medical Bills
Illinois Bankruptcy Attorneys ◊ 630-405-5027
Credit card debts and medical debts are two of the most common causes of bankruptcy. Credit card interest rates are so high that it is easy to get caught up in an endless cycle of increasing debt. Medical bills can be astronomical, even if you had insurance at the time of a serious injury or illness.
If you are struggling with credit card debts or medical bills you simply cannot afford to pay, get help. Contact an experienced bankruptcy attorney who can advise you of your legal rights and options. Although bankruptcy is not right for everyone, it can be a useful tool in any financial plan to solve your financial troubles.
How can Bankruptcy Help?
If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be able to completely discharge (eliminate) all your credit card debt and medical bills. You may be able to discharge other unpaid debts, including most types of unsecured debt.
If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may be able to achieve relief in the form of a debt repayment plan issued by a Bankruptcy Court judge. Chapter 13 provides a plan which can result in a discharge of some of your debt and allows you additional time to make payments without the constant strain of creditor harassment.
Get Relief from Creditor Harassment
Regardless of which option you choose — Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy — an automatic stay of further creditor collection efforts will be created at the time you file for bankruptcy relief. The automatic stay will protect you from creditor harassment.
