Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Explained

This form of bankruptcy is designed to help people eliminate debts, allowing them to move forward without the crushing weight of financial stress. The process may involve the liquidation of some assets to pay creditors, but Maryland laws allow exemptions that can protect some of your property, including your home, vehicle, and personal belongings. Most people are able to use these exemptions to avoid the loss of any assets during the bankruptcy process.

At The Law Office of Donald L. Bell, we understand the emotional and financial toll that debts can take. With a hands-on approach, will work closely with you to ensure that your bankruptcy case is handled with care and precision.

How Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Can Help You

While the idea of bankruptcy can be intimidating, it is important to understand the protections and advantages that Chapter 7 can provide, including:

• Stopping Creditor Actions: The automatic stay that will take effect after you file for bankruptcy will stop all collection actions against you, including lawsuits, wage garnishments, and foreclosure proceedings. This protection can ensure that you will be able to manage your financial affairs without constant pressure from creditors.
• Protection From Harassment: Once you file a petition for bankruptcy, creditors will be prohibited from contacting you. This means no more harassing phone calls or any other communications from creditors trying to collect debts. We will ensure that all communication with creditors goes through the appropriate legal channels, ensuring that you will be able to take steps toward financial recovery without the added stress of dealing with aggressive creditors.
• Debt Discharge: You can eliminate a wide variety of unsecured debts, including medical bills, personal loans, and credit card balances. This can give you the financial fresh start that you may need to regain control of your finances. With the elimination of unsecured debt, you can begin rebuilding your financial future.
• Retention of Exempt Property: While Chapter 7 may involve liquidating certain assets to repay creditors, Maryland law provides exemptions that allow you to keep essential property. These exemptions may apply to your home, vehicles, and personal belongings, depending on the specific circumstances of your case. The Law Office of Donald L. Bell will help you navigate these exemptions, ensuring that you will be able to protect as much of your property as possible while still benefiting from the debt relief that Chapter 7 offers.
• Quick Process and Fresh Start: Unlike Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which involves a repayment plan that will last for multiple years, Chapter 7 cases can often be completed within a few months. This means you can experience financial relief more quickly and begin moving forward with your life sooner. Once your debts are discharged, you will have the opportunity to rebuild your credit and improve your financial standing over time.
