Under what circumstances would I benefit from filing for bankruptcy?
You should undoubtedly consider filing for bankruptcy if you find yourself in an emergency situation, such as in the event you are facing a foreclosure sale, warrant of eviction, or bank restraint involving a large sum of money. Ultimately, the following are warning signs you should look out for before it is too late:
- Creditors have obtained judgments against you or your company.
- One of your bank accounts has been frozen.
- Your personal wages are being garnished.
- It is beyond your ability to pay down your credit card bills or medical bills.
What are the benefits of filing for bankruptcy in New York State?
Put simply, filing for bankruptcy in New York State may allow you financial relief. Commonly, people file for bankruptcy to stop a foreclosure on their home. This is because an automatic stay will be triggered by filing for bankruptcy, which means that creditors will have to cease all collection activities.
An additional benefit is that filing for bankruptcy may put a stop to threatening calls, emails, and letters from collection agencies. That is, bankruptcy will stop all debt lawsuits from creditors until the case is resolved.
And if your wages are being garnished, filing for bankruptcy can put an end to this, because it can discharge a significant amount of debt. In other words, bankruptcy allows you to work out a repayment plan that will allow you to get your finances in order.
All in all, filing for bankruptcy will give you a fresh start. With all this being said, it is also beneficial to retain the services of a talented Suffern New York bankruptcy attorney who will stand by your side.
