How quickly can bankruptcy stop creditors from calling me?

The automatic stay takes effect the moment your case is filed. Once creditors receive notice, they must stop calling, garnishing wages, and pursuing lawsuits.

Is there a minimum amount of debt to file?

No. There is no minimum debt requirement. What matters is whether bankruptcy is the right tool for your situation.

Services to Address Bankruptcy

Our attorneys help households that are facing insurmountable debt. Fortunately, our team has ways to make existing laws work in your favor.

Countryside Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Also known as liquidation bankruptcy, people file for Chapter 7 as a means of eliminating most of their unsecured debt. During Chapter 7, a person sells their property as a means of paying off their unsecured debt. Any remaining debts following the sale of property will often be discharged.

How a Bankruptcy Attorney Can Help

During a Chapter 7 filing, an attorney can give you insight regarding which property should be sold, as well as any relevant exemptions.

Countryside Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Also known as reorganization bankruptcy, filing for Chapter 13 will involve a payment plan that allows debtors with steady income to pay back their creditors. This repayment period typically lasts three to five years. There is no need to sell any of your property to pay back your creditors with Chapter 13.

How a Bankruptcy Lawyer Can Help

During a Chapter 13 filing, an attorney can help you consider your earnings and how the repayment plan could affect your budget.

Not Sure Which Kind of Bankruptcy to File?

Chicago Bankruptcy Clinic Has Got You Covered

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 each have their own unique benefits, and one may be better suited to your situation than the other. During a free consultation, our bankruptcy attorneys can review your dealings with creditors, current laws, and what type of bankruptcy makes more sense for you.
