    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have a question?

    It’s completely normal to have doubts about a process you’re unfamiliar with, and I’m here to guide you and provide the information you need to make the best decision.
    Feel free to contact me or schedule an appointment to address any other questions you may have.

    Can I get collectors off my back through bankruptcy?

    The Bankruptcy Law offers an automatic stay that temporarily halts all collection actions, including garnishments, lawsuits, and calls from collectors, giving you breathing room to reorganize your finances.

    How long will my credit be affected after filing for bankruptcy?

    Under Chapter 7, the bankruptcy filing remains on your credit report for ten (10) years. Under Chapter 13, the bankruptcy filing remains on your credit report for seven (7) years.

    However, this does not mean you cannot access a loan during that time, nor that you have to wait that term to restore your credit. What it means is that each time you apply for credit, your credit report will show that you filed for bankruptcy. 

    The impact of both types of bankruptcy on your credit report will diminish over time. If you practice good credit habits, you will see your credit score recover more quickly.

    What happens after completing my bankruptcy process, whether Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

    After you complete the bankruptcy process, either by fulfilling all the requirements of Chapter 7, or with a payment plan under Chapter 13, you will receive a discharge order. This means that a collector or creditor cannot collect those debts again and you no longer have the responsibility to pay them; the debt has been discharged and you can begin to rebuild your financial life again, debt-free.
