Your Legal Help for filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Wisconsin
Chapter 7 of the Title 11 of the United States Code (Bankruptcy Code) is one of the most common ways of filing bankruptcy. It is also known as straight bankruptcy or liquidation (converting assets into money). A successful Chapter 7 filing in Wisconsin will wipe out most of your unsecured debts (medical and utility bills, credit cards, back rent, and other similar amounts owed) and allow you to keep most of your property with voluntary reaffirmation of your secured debts (mortgages, car loans, etc.). Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Wisconsin will also stop your utility disconnection, wage garnishment, and small claims actions as well as prevent creditors from harassing you by phone and mail.
Advantages of Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Wisconsin
For gaining the most advantages from Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, seek professional legal help. Our Bankruptcy Attorneys at Bankruptcy Law Offices of Richard A. Check, S.C., based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will carefully consider the details of your case and help you to gain the following applicable benefits of a Wisconsin Chapter 13 filing:
- Re-scheduling secured debts. If you have a sincere wish to repay your outstanding amounts on secured debts, filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is your best choice. Our Bankruptcy Attorneys will work with you on rescheduling your missed dues by creating a tailored repayment plan.
- Keeping non-exempt property. With the help of Richard A. Check Bankruptcy Attorneys, you will be able to save your home from foreclosure and keep other non-exempt property.
- Protecting co-signers of debts. Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 will protect the co-signers of your debts. Consult our bankruptcy attorneys for the required steps to stop the creditors from harassing your co-signers.
- Discharging of debts, which do not qualify under Chapter 7. Student loans, tax obligations and other debts that cannot be discharged in Chapter 7 filing can be taken care of by a Wisconsin Chapter 13. Our Bankruptcy Attorneys will advise you regarding the most efficient ways to dispose of these debts
A Lifeline When you Need One
Debt can be a serious cause for concern. It can impact lives and have an effect on everyday life. Bankruptcy may be the first thing that comes to your mind. Although Bankruptcy may be necessary in certain cases, there are alternatives. If you’re a Wisconsin resident there is Chapter 128 or State Action 128 which could be a preferable bankruptcy alternative.
Chapter 128 Bankruptcy or State Action 128 is a Wisconsin law allowing the minimization of debt without having to go through the traditional filing of Bankruptcy. If you wish to take responsibility for your debts and want to figure out a way to settle them without filing for bankruptcy, Chapter 128 maybe the ideal way to go for you.
Key Features of Chapter 128
Chapter 128 allows individuals to work out a debt repayment plan with creditors. This paves the way for an opportunity to pay back unsecured debts under a monthly payment plan. You can take up to 3 years to pay off your debt. Worried about interest accruing on your debt? After you file, all interest accruals will be frozen. You can stop wage garnishments and avoid utility disconnections. Your filing will cease creditor calls and a protective order will require creditors to accept the conditions put forth in the Chapter 128 filing.
One of the differences between a Bankruptcy and Chapter 128 is the time a filing stays on one’s credit report. A Chapter 7 or 13 stays for ten years whilst a 128 stays on for seven years. In addition, the filing of Chapter 128 is less expensive and less intrusive than a bankruptcy. Normally there is no court appearance and most of the matters can be handled through the mail.
