Find Relief From Crippling Debt With a Bankruptcy Attorney

If your home mortgage lender is threatening or has initiated a home foreclosure action, we can discuss the best way to handle your situation. If you are trying to protect your home, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be a better solution than a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy often reduces your monthly payments enough so you can afford your mortgage and any back payments.

Resolve Tax Liabilities and Credit Card Debt in Southampton, Havertown, Perkasie & Bucks County, PA

Besides curing arrears on your mortgage or car loan, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to resolve your tax liabilities and credit card debt through the reorganization plan. Depending upon your particular financial status (i.e., assets, family size, disposable income), we may be able to resolve unsecured debts at pennies on the dollar. Your new payment plan, if approved by the court, will allow you to pay your debts more gradually, and will give you a chance to get back on your feet.

You will be required to begin making payments to cure arrears on your loan(s) to the Chapter 13 bankruptcy trustee 30 days after the bankruptcy filing and every month thereafter during the repayment plan. You are also required to make your next mortgage payment after the bankruptcy filing, even if you do not receive an invoice from your lender.

Other Benefits of a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

In addition to home foreclosure protection and the establishment of a workable payment plan that saves people money, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be able to stop:

• Harassment by creditors
• Wage garnishments
• Car repossessions
• Forced sales of assets or real property
