Bankruptcy Athens GA

Bankruptcy used to an extreme taboo. To declare bankruptcy then was completely ruinous and few if any ever recovered. Fortunately today, things have somewhat changed. The general outlook toward a person who has been in bankruptcy is still tempered with caution. A bankruptcy will stay listed on a person's credit report ten years. But don’t overlook bankruptcy if you are drowning in debt. Filing for bankruptcy will give you a fresh start. Bankruptcy makes it possible to:

• give you a fresh financial start by "discharging" (that is, wiping out or erasing) certain debts.
• stop most wage attachments from your pay.
• stop creditors and debt collectors from harassing or bothering you.
• let you keep any future wages, money you receive, or property you buy. This means that creditors whose debts were discharged cannot come after you for the old debts.
• you are allowed to keep enough property for you to make a fresh start after bankruptcy. You can keep most of your household furnishings (furniture, dishes, etc.), some jewelry, your clothing, and tools you use for work.
• keep certain equity in your house.
• keep your car. It depends on how much the car is worth and whether you still owe money on it.
