Bankruptcy Tips - Some Rebounding Tips After Bankruptcy - Part #1

  So you have filed for bankruptcy. What’s the next step? At first blush, you are full of ideas on how you are getting a fresh start. You have freed yourself from almost all of your debts and you are, for all intents and purposes (financially, at least), a new person. But note that by filing for bankruptcy, you had to pay a dear price. In exchange for a discharge of your debts and stopping your creditors from pursuing any collection actions against you, your credit rating took the brunt of the blow. Considering how your credit rating was probably not all that great to begin with, this recent hit is going to be an easy one to recover from. Let’s start with the bad news: • The bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for up to 10 years. • To lenders, you would seem a bad risk because you have legally written off at least some of your past debts. • As a consequence, you may not be able to get a loan or a credit card for some time after the bankruptcy. • And if y...

A Look At Personal Bankruptcy & What To Expect

  One of the most difficult decisions that you can face is whether or not to file for bankruptcy. For individuals, there are two types of personal bankruptcy - Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Designed to give the filer a fresh start in life by wiping out certain debts, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy will rid the filer of credit card and other unsecured debt. A chapter 13 bankruptcy, on the other hand, is a court-approved payment plan in which the filer is required to repay a predetermined percentage of their debt. The determination of which chapter to file will be based on the filer’s disposable income, if any, after paying their necessary monthly bills. When many people file for bankruptcy, their first thoughts are of their assets and whether or not they may lose their home. In a Chapter 13 repayment plan, the majority of filers are allowed to keep their property in exchange for repaying a portion of their debts. A Chapter 7, however, is designed to be a liquidation process that often result...

Law Office Update

Hello, I wanted to let everyone know that during this unprecedented time The Law Office of Charles L Basch II is still open, and servicing new and existing clients full-time. I am still diligently involved in cases and all aspects of keeping them healthy and moving forward by what ever means available to my office offered by the Courts or the Federal Government that may arise going forward.

As of right now Bankruptcy Courts are still holding hearings, although all tel-phoni...

An Introduction To Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a legally declared inability of individuals or businesses to pay their debts. A bankruptcy can be requested not only by creditors in an effort to get what they are owed but also by the insolvent individual or organization. If it is difficult to repay debts, declaring the bankruptcy may be the right solution to debt problems. Out of six basic types of under the Bankruptcy Code, Chapter 7 is a “liquidation” of nonexempt assets to pay debts. In a court-supervised procedure, a court appoints a trustee who liquidates the non-exempt assets of the debtor’s estate and makes distributions to creditors. The Bankruptcy Code allows the debtor to keep certain exempt property; but a trustee will liquidate the debtor's remaining assets. According to the amendments to the Bankruptcy Code enacted in to the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, if a debtor’s income is in excess of certain thresholds, the debtor may not be eligible for chapter 7 relief....

Bankruptcy and Estate Planning

The legal process of bankruptcy, though sometimes misunderstood, is a progressive and often merciful process. By it, a hopelessly indebted individual can make an official declaration of financial inability and be free of those obligations. With new amendments in U.S. laws, well not so new anymore, twelve years old now, there is little or no social or corporate stigma attached to filing for bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy, though a matter of public record, no longer means that it becomes a matter of public knowledge. Effectively, this is an incentive for the bankrupt party to make another attempt at financial solvency. An individual can file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7(for irreversible insolvency) or Chapter 13(for temporary insolvency). The benefits of filing for bankruptcy include rebuilding your credit. Meanwhile, the bankrupt person has assured freedom from harassment by previous creditors. When Congress amended the US bankruptcy code(ratified in 1978) in 2005, that too...
