Take Control of Credit Card Debt in Chicago

Credit card debt can be overwhelming. Collectively, Americans owe more than $800 billion to credit card companies, and even a brief interruption in income or one large, unexpected expense can break the system. If your credit card debt is out of control and is impacting your ability to stay on top of your living expenses and other obligations, it’s time to consider your options. Many Chicago residents eliminate credit card debt in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Find out whether personal bankruptcy might be the solution for you.

Stop Creditor Harassment in Chicago

If you’ve suffered a loss of income, separation, illness or other event that has disrupted your life, creditor harassment can add to your stress level and make it difficult to regain control. The federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act provides protections for Chicago residents. Third party debt collectors such as collection agencies are prohibited from employing deceptive or abusive tactics in attempting to collect a debt. In addition, Illinois law requires that debt collectors be licensed in the state. If debt collectors are harassing you, learn more about how you can fight back.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Law

If you’re overwhelmed by debt in Chicago, you’re not alone. But, help is available. Nearly 9,000 Illinois individuals and couples filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last year. Chapter 7 bankruptcy has the power to wipe out many unsecured debts such as credit card bills, medical debt and unsecured loans. If job loss, divorce, illness, injury or just a miscalculation has left you buried in debt, find out whether personal bankruptcy might provide the fresh start you need.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Law

If you have regular income and could make regular payments toward your debt, but it just isn’t enough to keep the debt collectors at bay, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the solution you’re looking for. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan, most people keep all of their assets while catching up past-due balances over a three to five year period. If you could use the breathing room, would like to stop the pressure from creditors and collection agencies and are tired of watching late fees add to your balances, learn more today.

Stop Foreclosure in Chicago

In some cases, Chapter 13 bankruptcy can save your home. If you’re facing foreclosure and feel like you’ve run out of options, schedule a free consultation today to get the information you need about how Chapter 13 bankruptcy may stop foreclosure. Even if you’ve decided that you can’t afford to keep your home, personal bankruptcy may prevent or eliminate a deficiency judgment against you after foreclosure.

Medical Debt in Chicago

Health care costs continue to rise, and even IllinoisChicago residents with medical insurance may find themselves buried in debt after a significant illness or injury. In fact, nearly half of personal bankruptcies in the United States result at least in part from medical expenses. Since medical debt is generally unsecured, it can often be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, eliminating the legal obligation to pay and stopping collection action.

They made the process extremely easy and were always available to help via phone, email or even text with my local attorney. Payment options were available instead of having to pay all the costs and fees at one time. Great experience overall!
