Personalized Chapter 7 Guidance in Park Ridge, Illinois

With detailed knowledge of Chapter 7 bankruptcy, I work hard to maximize the benefits you receive from your case, and I take great care to draft a petition tailored to your unique situation.

Ending the Hassle Associated with Overwhelming Debt

In addition to ultimately offering a discharge of your unsecured debt, a Chapter 7 filing provides several instant benefits, including:

  • Prohibiting creditor collection activities like harassing phone calls and letters
  • Ending lawsuits
  • Eliminating wage garnishments
  • Staying foreclosure proceedings

These automatic stay benefits take effect shortly after your case is filed, and they prohibit creditors from taking certain actions pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. Common examples of prohibitions include: contacting the debtor by telephone or mail to demand repayment of a debt, starting or continuing lawsuits or foreclosures, and garnishing or deducting from the debtor's wages.
