In a Chapter 7 case, most of your unsecured debts are discharged and assets beyond allowable exemptions are liquidated to pay some or all of your debt. Usually, many of your assets are exempt - meaning they cannot be liquidated. Exempt property usually includes your primary residence, your vehicle, certain items of property, tools and work equipment and numerous other categories of property. After your case is completed and all dischargeable debts are forgiven, the bankruptcy case is closed. You should make a new start with a commitment to avoid getting in this situation again.

In a Chapter 13 case, you may reorganize your debts and repay them in an affordable payment plan that lasts 36 to 60 months. Your creditors should not take any action against you while you repay your debts.

Whichever option is right for you, you need a sponsoring bankruptcy attorney of Total Bankruptcy to help you navigate the sometimes tricky waters of bankruptcy, eliminate the majority of your debts and help you keep as much of your property as possible.

You are only a few clicks away from financial help

Total Bankruptcy may be able to help you emerge from liquidation and consolidation with a plan for a healthier financial lifestyle. After your debts have been discharged you may breathe a sigh of relief. Your case is closed and your enormous debt load is erased. Now what? Your experienced lawyer should guide you toward a whole new set of habits based on the following four steps.

Step one - Control your spending. So many of us live beyond our means for any number of reasons. We deal with a lot of social, cultural and emotional pressures that may lead to excessive spending. Now is the perfect time to "clean up your act." We can give you tips and resources to keep your spending patterns in line.

Step 2 - Live within a budget. Budgeting takes discipline, but you may only need an hour to sit down and figure out a budget. Then, you have to live by it. You may get help from any number of sources. We should help you with the basics and point you in the right direction for more help.

Step 3 - Start Saving. When your debts are gone, you should be able to save each month, as long as you stick to your budget. A savings account at a bank isn't your only option. Check into whether or not your employer has a 401K program. Start having automatic deductions made from your paycheck before you even miss the money. Explore the possibilities of mutual funds and other low-risk investment options. We may refer you to a reputable financial planner who should give you further assistance.

Step 4 - Rebuild Your Credit. Following Steps 1-3 should take you a long way toward Step 4.
