Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 eliminates most debt completely without risk of losing your home, vehicle, retirement accounts, personal property, checking accounts, etc. Common types of debts that are totally eliminated in a Chapter 7 include: credit cards, medical bills, deficiency balances on repossessed vehicles, personal loans, foreclosures, and payday loans. And, despite what some people may think, you CAN protect your home, vehicle, retirement accounts, and personal property in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case.

Pay your attorney fees and your creditors with one easy monthly payment! Process your monthly Trustee payment directly through your company payroll!
