Our Arlington TX bankruptcy attorneys at the Law Offices of David Kohm are here to help walk you through this process.
The most common form of bankruptcy is Chapter 7. Filing for this personal bankruptcy will provide you complete relief from creditors and collectors, a relief anyone in debt is desperately seeking. Creditors and collectors can be harassing, disrupting your daily routine with their constant phone calls. Filing for Chapter 7 creates an automatic stay, which halts collector and creditor activity. This type of filing can provide you with the peace of mind you are looking for.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the other form of bankruptcy, and is sometimes called “reorganization,” as this type allows you the chance to reorganize your debt. After you prove to the court you possess the income to repay your debts, you must submit a detailed repayment plan to the court to review. This plan will include your debts, income, and the length of your desired payment plan.
