CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY LAWYERS IN NAPERVILLE, IL
Liquidation Bankruptcy for Individuals
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes called "straight" or "liquidation" bankruptcy. It cancels your debts, but you might have to let the bankruptcy court liquidate (sell) some of your property for the benefit of your creditors.
At Lynch Law LLC, our Naperville, IL bankruptcy attorneys have decades of combined experience guiding people through this form of bankruptcy. Our Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyers are compassionate yet aggressive in the efforts to resolve your case favorably.
What You Need to Know about Chapter 7
You won't be able to use Chapter 7 bankruptcy if you already received a bankruptcy discharge in the last eight years (depending which type of bankruptcy you filed) or if you could feasibly complete a Chapter 13 repayment plan based on your income and expenses.Chapter 7 bankruptcy can:
- Stop wage garnishment, home foreclosure, and repossession of your car and other property.
- Stop all action against you by creditors. Bill collectors or collection attorneys can no longer call you and harass you. They cannot take any action against you, enforce a judgment, or collect any part of any debt that you might owe unless they have specific permission from the bankruptcy court.
- Our attorneys can help you determine if Chapter 7 bankruptcy is right for you. If we believe it is the right debt relief solution for your situation, we'll help you through the process of filing and completing your bankruptcy.
At the end of the bankruptcy process, all your debts will be discharged except:
- Child support
- Most tax debts
- Student loans
- Debts that the court has declared non-dischargeable (for example, debts from fraud)
