Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Anteski Law Firm acts as a debt relief agency and handles bankruptcy cases in Fort Smith, Fayetteville, and Little Rock, Arkansas.  All bankruptcy cases are filed in Federal Court.  Bankruptcy protects consumers from their creditors collections attempts.  If you are in debt and your finances are out of control, filing for bankruptcy may solve your problems.  Bankruptcy gives you a fresh start by eliminating and/or restructuring your debt.  Before you file bankruptcy, you must take a consumer credit counseling course.  Then, after you file bankruptcy, you must take a debtor education course.  Often, these courses are taken over the telephone or the internet in less than one hour.  You will have your certificate of completion of each course emailed to your attorney, who will file the certificates in your bankruptcy case.

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 are the two (2) most common types of bankruptcies.  If you are a family farmer or a business owner, ask me about the other types of bankruptcy that may be available for you to file.

Chapter 7 is a liquidation.  By filing Chapter 7, most unsecured debts are completely eliminated.  You can choose to reaffirm your secured debt to keep your home and/or your car.  It usually takes less than 6 months to receive a discharge.

To qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must meet certain guidelines for income and expenses.

By filing for bankruptcy, your creditors should stop harassing you, garnishing your paycheck, or seizing your property to pay off a debt.  In addition, filing for bankruptcy can help you to catch up on late bills, stop the repossession of your car, and prevent the foreclosure of your home.

By filing for bankruptcy, you can get a fresh start.
