What is Bankruptcy?
- Stop creditors from harassing you. Once you file for bankruptcy, the court orders an automatic stay. This prevents creditors and their lawyers from pursuing collection actions, such as calling you or filing a lawsuit.
- Wipe out your unsecured debt. Secured debts are those backed by collateral. If it doesn’t have one, it’s unsecured. Bankruptcy is excellent for eliminating your obligation to pay unsecured debt.
- Stop foreclosure, repossession, or eviction. If these actions are still pending, then an automatic stay can stop them, at least temporarily. Depending on the bankruptcy chapter you file, you may be able to stop them entirely.
What is a Bankruptcy Discharge?
- Personal loans from employers, friends, or family
- Overdue utility bills
- Most car accident claims
- Government program overpayments
- Collection agency accounts
- Credit card debt
- Medical bills
- Business debt
- Money owed from overdue rent and lease agreements
- Most attorney fees
- Old tax penalties and unpaid taxes
Bankruptcy can eliminate a lot of your debt. Ask an experienced Washington bankruptcy attorney to thoroughly review your case so you can discharge as much debt as possible.
Will All My Debts Receive a Discharge?
- Certain taxes
- Student loans
- Fines and penalties owed to government agencies
- Child support
- Spousal support
- Personal injury compensation from DUI
- Court penalties and fines
This is not an exhaustive list. Both your dischargeable and nondischargeable debt can vary based on your case. To ensure you don’t get anything wrong, consult a knowledgeable Washington bankruptcy lawyer today!
