Considering bankruptcy in Scottdale?

Though Scottdale is a small community of only about 10,000, there is strength in our diversity and in our determination to revitalize our downtown commercial center and our neighborhoods. Still, too many SCD residents have faced serious challenges in recent years; in a town where 69 percent of households have children living at home, 67 percent of all households are supported by only one parent. Too many of our neighbors have been stretched beyond their means and, despite their best efforts to repay what they owe, getting free of debt has been impossible.

If this has happened to you, it’s time to consider debt relief from Jeff Field & Associates. Our bankruptcy lawyers have more than 70 years of combined experience. Jeff Field is AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Rated by Martindale-Hubbell® for his high ethical standards and professional ability, and has received the Gold Client Champion Award for 2017 in recognition of his highly personal and responsive service. When you visit us for advice, we provide a thorough evaluation of your debt situation, and let you know whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is right for you.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy to get a clean slate

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is for debtors who generally have a large amount of unsecured debt, such as medical bills, utility bills, and credit card balances. When you file for Chapter 7, the court issues an automatic stay, which prevents your creditors from contacting you to collect. Because Chapter 7 is called liquidation bankruptcy, many people have the impression they will lose everything if they file. Not true! The law allows you to exempt personal property in various categories, so you will be able to keep cars, clothing, furnishings, tools, jewelry, and other items up to the applicable limits. Debtors are even able to keep their homes in nearly every case. Then, in a few short months, the court discharges all your eligible debt.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop foreclosure and repossession

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is for debtors with a regular source of income who can afford to pay something every month toward their debt. This is the bankruptcy chapter that helps homeowners who’ve fallen behind on their mortgage payments stop foreclosure and stay in their homes. You can also use Chapter 13 to keep your vehicle if it exceeds the state exemption limit. Just as with Chapter 7, you get an automatic stay as soon as you file. Then, we work closely with you to create a payment plan the court can approve. Your monthly payments will be less than your current bills, and you only need to continue the plan for three to five years, depending on your income. At the conclusion of your plan, the court discharges your remaining eligible debt.
