The Truth about Foreclosure and Bankruptcy in Georgia

Superior legal assistance for those facing foreclosure

If you’re like most people struggling under the burden of unpaid bills and debts, keeping your home is your number one priority.  With the threat of foreclosure looming, you may feel too overwhelmed or anxious to think clearly about what steps to take next.

Bankruptcy may help you keep your home

Too many people believe they should be ashamed to “go bankrupt.” In reality, declaring bankruptcy is often the smartest move you can make — especially when you’re in danger of losing your home to foreclosure. If your debts are large but manageable under different circumstances, we explore the benefits of filing for Chapter 13.  If your debts are insurmountable, we can help you file Chapter 7, which eliminates your debts and may help you avoid foreclosure completely.

We always put you first

At Jeff Field & Associates, we are keenly aware of your circumstances.  We do whatever is within our power to make the bankruptcy process as stress-free as possible.  To help you avoid foreclosure, we may proceed with the following:

• Implementing the automatic stay. The automatic stay functions as a court-issued cease and desist against your creditors.  If you’re being harassed by collectors, we’ll take action to protect you.
• Stripping off mortgages. Many people facing foreclosure have two or even three mortgages on their homes. If you file for Chapter 13, we may be able to eliminate those additional mortgage obligations by having them relabeled as unsecured debt.
• Eliminating other debts. By filing Chapter 7, you can eliminate other outstanding debts and may allow you to make up back payments on your mortgage, helping you avoid foreclosure.

We want you to keep the home you worked so hard to get.  Our foreclosure attorneys create options for your future, and offer advice based on those options.  We always work with you, helping you regain control over your life.
