Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorney in College Park

Once we confirm your eligibility, we can meet with creditors to ensure that your interests and rights are protected.

What You Need to Know About Filing

  • While it takes longer than the Chapter 7 bankruptcy process, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is just as effective
  • You pay back creditors through a repayment plan of monthly installments
  • Your lawyer can help you negotiate a fair repayment plan

How to File for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

For guidance with any of the steps below, reach out to The Bankruptcy Law Group LLC. Our bankruptcy lawyers are ready to help analyze your debt and determine if this option is right for you.

To begin filing for Chapter 13, you must:

  1. Collect any documents relating to your assets, debts, or income such as copies of credit reports, tax returns from the last 4 years, bank statements, etc.
  2. Take inventory of the property you own. Some of your assets may be exempt from bankruptcy laws!
  3. Analyze your debt and determine what type of debt it is (credit card debt, medical bills, etc.)

Benefits of Filing for Chapter 13

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a valuable option for those residing in Atlanta, Stockbridge, and College Park to reorganize their finances and manage their debts in a more feasible way. The following are some key benefits of Chapter 13 bankruptcy that are specifically relevant to individuals in these areas:

  • Avoid Foreclosure: Homeowners in Atlanta, Stockbridge, and College Park who are struggling with mortgage payments can use Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop foreclosure. Through a repayment plan, they can catch up on missed payments and keep their homes.
  • Stop Collection Efforts: Chapter 13 bankruptcy can also prevent collection attempts by creditors through phone calls, letters, and lawsuits. This can provide much-needed relief from the stress and anxiety of dealing with creditors, especially for those who are having difficulty making ends meet.
  • Flexible Repayment Plan: Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides a repayment plan that is flexible and tailored to fit your budget and financial situation. This can be especially beneficial for residents of Atlanta, Stockbridge, and College Park who may be facing high living expenses or limited income.
  • Asset Protection: Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows people to keep their assets and devise a repayment plan that fits their budget. This is particularly important for individuals in these areas who may have valuable assets, such as a home or a car.
  • Improved Credit Score: Although bankruptcy can have a negative impact on credit score successful completion of a Chapter 13 repayment plan can demonstrate to creditors a commitment to paying off debts and can lead to an improvement in credit scores over time.

I Analyzed My Debt. What Comes Next?

After you have analyzed your debts and have determined that filing for Chapter 13 is best for your financial situation, you must complete the first credit counseling course approved by the Department of Justice.

A fee may be applicable, but it may be waived if you are eligible:

  1. Complete the bankruptcy forms.
  2. File for Chapter 13 bankruptcy and pay the filing fee. This cannot be waived.
  3. Send documents to the bankruptcy trustee.
  4. Attend the 341 Meeting of Creditors and the confirmation hearing.
  5. Keep up with the repayment plan

When you are finished repaying your debt, you will need to complete a second debtor education course before receiving a discharge of your debt.

    "With her professional help and expertise, I was able to claim my financial freedom and start over! Thank you so much Ms. Butler!"
    I kid you not, Stacey Butler changed my life! I went to Ms. Butler in July of 2012 with a case that I thought she wouldn't be able to help with. She got the debt collectors off of my back. They stopped calling and harassing me and I was even able to have my driver's license reinstated! Over a three month period, I was able to make conveniently scheduled payments to pay for her services. Ms. Butler was very professional, very personable and she helped me accomplish something that I had been attempting to accomplish for SEVERAL years (LICENSE!!!) on my own unsuccessfully due to my horrible financial situation. With her professional help and expertise, I was able to claim my financial freedom and start over! Thank you so much Ms. Butler!

    "Its a relief to see the light at the end of the tunnel and start my life over with better savings and credit score."
    i had previously filed a chapter 13 with another attorney needless to say it got dismissed without me knowing. I found out it was dismissed from a mailer i received in the mail from THE BANKRUPTCY LAW GROUP LLC . The person that answered the phone was LIONEL he is amazing at what he does. He told me everything i needed to do even called when one of my payment didn't go through to update payment. The entire team is amazing TINA MARIE PERRY is amazing she reminded me to make my court payments and to take my last class. I totally would have had to start all over again if it wasn't for her friendly email and phone call reminders. I filed for bankruptcy in April yesterday 7/3/17. I received an alert that it was dismissed. Although Im not done yet. Its a relief to see the light at the end of the tunnel and start my life over with better savings and credit score. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING
