What the difference between Bankruptcy vs. Debt Consolidation Agencies

Our team is continually disappointed by the unscrupulous actions of many debt settlement agencies. They entice consumers with promises of a quick fix to their debt crisis. In reality, however, they merely shuffle the debt around and tack on enormous fees. Many individuals don’t realize that some debt consolidation agencies are actually subsidiaries of collection companies!

Unlike devious agencies seeking to profit from your debt dilemma, protecting your best interests is our primary objective. At Dethlefs, Pykosh & Murphy Law, we can be the assertive and skilled advocates you need and deserve when seeking to alleviate your overwhelming debt. Filing for bankruptcy offers immediate protection from collection agencies and provides the legal means to appease your creditors.

What are the benefits of petitioning from bankruptcy?
  • Instantly stopping credit agency harassment, wage garnishment, and foreclosure
  • Flat fees, no hidden costs, and convenient payment plans
  • Discharging most, if not all, of your unsecured debt
  • Safeguarding your present interests and beginning your financial recovery
  • Assertive representation to defend your consumer rights in court

Federal bankruptcy laws were created to protect consumers facing unmanageable financial obligations and to provide a legal way to satisfy creditors. All forms of bankruptcy are strictly governed by guidelines, mandates, and regulations. The type you choose depends on the amount of your debt, your current income, and your quantity of assets.

What is Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Considered a simple form of bankruptcy, Chapter 7 will discharge most of your unsecured debts and cease creditors’ collection attempts, all while costing you very little. You will most likely choose this form if you have comparatively small personal debts that you will be unable to pay.

What is Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

If your business is sinking into a financial dilemma, filing for Chapter 11 – or rehabilitation bankruptcy – can allow you to remain open while restructuring your debts. You will likely choose this type of bankruptcy if you have hindering business-related debts.

What is Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

This form of Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to reorganize your personal or business-related debts and repay a portion of it overtime – typically 3 to 5 years. You may use this form of financial relief if you have unavoidable forms of debt.

What much will a bankruptcy attorney cost?

The old myth that a bankruptcy attorney costs a small fortune is still around, so you may be surprised to hear that hiring a skilled bankruptcy attorney is a great investment and can actually save you a great deal of money in the long run.

It’s understandable that every expense is a concern when you’re in a difficult financial situation; it is perfectly natural to be wary of the cost of a bankruptcy attorney. However, you are considering bankruptcy because you are in a state of financial stress, so you need to make sure you get it right. Learn more.
