Americans are saddled with so many different types of debt:
Using Chapter 7 is the fastest and easiest way to eliminate your debt. While the laws say that certain "non-exempt assets" can be sold to pay back your creditors, it's our experience that our clients rarely lose a thing during this process. Illinois has a list of exemptions, which are items you get to keep. You can receive an exemption for your house, car, retirement plan, personal possessions, and many others.
To qualify, you'll have to pass "the means test", which evaluates your household and disposable income to determine if you have any other way to pay off your debts. If you don't pass the means test, you can't file.
Illinois Chapter 13 allows you to restructure and reduce your debt into an affordable monthly repayment plan lasting three to five years. You're eligible for Chapter 13 even if you don't pass the means test, making it an excellent option for people with regular incomes facing temporary financial setbacks.
Bankruptcy courts in Illinois are divided into 3 districts with 7 locations. The court locations include:
The statutes require you or your attorneys to file with the court a petition and the necessary records to start proceedings. After your case is filed, the judge issues an automatic stay, which is a court order that forbids your creditors from even contacting you. Imagine not being afraid to answer the phone! Bankruptcy laws can offer you that freedom.
Bankruptcy laws can help you find the debt relief you so desperately need. You can stop worrying about how you're going to pay the next bill or whether you're going to lose your house, and start living the life you've always wanted.
