Oklahoma Bankruptcy HelpBankruptcy Isn’t a Last Resort for Oklahomans: It’s a New Start

bankruptcyBankruptcy can be a scary thing if you listen to those who focus on the negative impact of bankruptcy on your credit rating.

It is true that bankruptcy negatively affects your credit rating for 7 to 10 years after filing. However, if you are considering filing bankruptcy, your credit rating is likely already ruined.

Bankruptcy can be used to discharge debt that has become out of control and to protect those assets you have worked hard to obtain.

When to Consider Bankruptcy

So when should you consider filing for bankruptcy?

Here are some signs that you might need help:

  • Your creditors are sung you over unpaid debts;
  • You are in arrears on your mortgage;
  • Your monthly bills are higher than your wages; or
  • Your wages are being garnished by a bill collector.

These are all signed that you need help. Luckily, help is out there.

We have helped many of your Oklahoma neighbors regain their financial footing. We can help put an end to the harassing phone calls from creditors, protect your home, and help you regain peace of mind as you rebuild your financial foundations.

The U.S. bankruptcy code was enacted to provide people with a fresh financial start when their debts spin out of control. It is not the first intervention that you might think of to get a handle on your finances, but it isn’t a last resort either.

Types of Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 provides individuals with a way to regain their financial footing before they lose all of their assets. You don’t need to lose your home or all of your assets before seeking help. In fact, the earlier you seek help, the more options available to you.

The longer you wait, the more damage your debt does to your psyche and your pocketbook. Those who wait too long often undermine the fresh start that bankruptcy is meant to provide. The longer you wait, the less money you will likely have in the bank at the time you file.

People often delay filing because of a sense of stigma or shame at not being able to honor a debt. But the discharge of debt in bankruptcy is the core of the sense of having a fresh start. Once you file, the phone calls and letters stop — and all of a sudden, you can breathe again.
