Bankruptcy allows for a fresh start in life!<br />
Advertorial by<br />
Attorney Ed Woodland<br />
In the last three years,<br />
a lot of bad things have<br />
happened to good people<br />
in this valley. We all know<br />
at least one person who<br />
has lost all of their home<br />
equity, lost a job, been<br />
foreclosed on, spent all of<br />
their savings paying their<br />
creditors, been turned<br />
down for a loan modification,<br />
had their wages garnished,<br />
been sued, or lost<br />
everything.<br />
You don’t have to be<br />
the next victim on the list.<br />
Bankruptcy can help!<br />
The specific benefits<br />
to filing for bankruptcy<br />
are varied, depending<br />
upon whether you file<br />
under Chapter 7 or<br />
Chapter 13, as well as the<br />
specific circumstances of<br />
your financial situation<br />
and your case itself.<br />
Possibly the most important<br />
benefit at the start of<br />
the bankruptcy process is<br />
that all debt collection<br />
efforts m<strong>us</strong>t cease, once<br />
you file your bankruptcy<br />
petition.<br />
This means that creditor<br />
harassment, wage garnishment,<br />
foreclosure,<br />
debt<br />
collection lawsuits, repossession<br />
and all related<br />
activity m<strong>us</strong>t be placed on<br />
hold. Filing for bankruptcy<br />
can give you muchneeded<br />
breathing room as<br />
you figure out what to do<br />
to save your home from<br />
foreclosure, or what debts<br />
you wish to reaffirm so<br />
you can keep certain<br />
property.<br />
It is a common misconception<br />
that filing for<br />
bankruptcy will mean<br />
that you will lose your<br />
home, your car, your b<strong>us</strong>iness<br />
and all of your possessions,<br />
and that you<br />
will not be able to rebuild<br />
your credit in the future.<br />
This is simply not the<br />
truth!<br />
Even when filing for<br />
bankruptcy, you can<br />
ensure that certain assets<br />
are protected, particularly<br />
if you file under Chapter<br />
13 and undergo a reorganization<br />
of your debt,<br />
Attorney Ed<br />
Woodland says<br />
bankruptcy law<br />
truly offers people<br />
a second<br />
chance - a fresh<br />
start!<br />
rather than a liquidation<br />
of assets to pay off creditors.<br />
When a Chapter 7 or<br />
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is<br />
successfully completed,<br />
all eligible debt will be<br />
discharged. You will be<br />
free and clear of all eligible<br />
debt and will have no<br />
further obligation to those<br />
creditors.<br />
This is the final goal of<br />
any bankruptcy case and<br />
the reason it can benefit a<br />
debtor so greatly.<br />
Bankruptcy law truly<br />
offers people a second<br />
chance - a fresh start!<br />
Bankruptcy Myths<br />
There are many myths<br />
about how difficult life<br />
can be after bankruptcy.<br />
Some may say that it will<br />
be impossible to buy a<br />
home or a car, or that you<br />
can never rebuild your<br />
credit. This is simply<br />
untrue.<br />
Most of our clients feel<br />
a great deal of relief after<br />
filing for bankruptcy. In<br />
taking control of their<br />
finances, stopping foreclosure<br />
and discharging<br />
debt, they are able to<br />
breathe again and have<br />
the opportunity to make<br />
the right decisions this<br />
time around, in order to<br />
avoid a similar situation<br />
again in the future.<br />
Bankruptcy is a valuable<br />
legal recourse that<br />
enables people to get a<br />
fresh start financially.<br />

can benefit you and your<br />
family.<br />
