Millcreek Bankruptcy Attorneys with 30+ Years of Experience

There are many misconceptions about what bankruptcy is, what it means, and the ramifications it can have on a person’s life. However, one thing that common knowledge has correct is that the laws governing bankruptcy are quite complex. The founding fathers included bankruptcy in the U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, to help citizens who are overwhelmed by debt. The U.S. Constitution states that Congress shall enact “uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States.” The purpose of bankruptcy is to give people a fresh start.

What Does Bankruptcy Do?

The stress of being deeply in debt can be an overwhelming burden. Though bankruptcy is often seen as a highly negative thing, it is often the case that the alternatives—failing to pay bills, having property repossessed, etc.—are much worse for your overall credit.

Successfully filing for bankruptcy can do many helpful things including:
Stop a foreclosure on your home. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to catch up past due payments over a period of up to five years, allowing you to keep your home.
Prevent the repossession of your car or other property. This can give you the chance to catch up on payments. You may also be able to minimize the amount you need to pay to reclaim secured property.
Eliminate most or all of your debt. Bankruptcy can discharge debts such as medical bills and credit card debt.
Stop wage garnishments.
Restore utility service, or prevent termination of service.
Stop debt collector harassment.

It is important to note that there are a limited number of things bankruptcy does not do. Among these are the discharge of criminal fines, debts owed to ex-spouses or as spousal or child support, debts incurred through fraud or false pretenses, some taxes, and debts incurred after filing for bankruptcy. A bankruptcy also does not protect cosigners unless you propose to pay the creditor 100% of the debt in a chapter 13 case.
