Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
New laws require a means test to determine your eligibility for a debt discharge. If you fall below the state’s median income, you will qualify. Considering New Jersey possesses one of the highest median incomes in the state, many clients who come to us are able to start over with a clean slate through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing.
Stop Wage Garnishments
By immediately filing bankruptcy you can put a halt to wage garnishments and law suits
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 debt reorganization. It enables individuals to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts. Under Chapter 13 the debtor proposes a repayment plan to make installments to creditors over three to five years. Automobile payments could be lowered and second mortgages may be eliminated.
Stop Utility Shutoffs
Utility companies can be prevented from terminating service. Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 can eliminate the debt or a large portion of the debt.
Utility companies are required to establish a new account provided they receive a "new" service deposit for "new" service.
Facing Foreclosure
A bankruptcy filing immediately initiates an automatic stay, which forces a bank to cease all foreclosure actions. Once your creditor's stop harassing you, you and your attorney can develop a plan to get caught up with your mortgage payments. We will help you identify the best option for keeping your house or starting fresh.
Stop Repossessions & Evictions
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can stop most evictions (if filed before Judgment for Possession) and can stop repossessions. In most cases can also have a repossessed vehicle returned (if filed during redemption period-usually 10 days)
Car Repossessions
We can stop repossession of your automobile and under certain conditions we may even be able to lower your car payment.
You may even be able to get a repossessed car back, if it hasn't been sold at auction.
