Moving On After Bankruptcy
While bankruptcy is not for everyone, for many, it is the best way to eliminate debt while stopping creditor actions such as foreclosure, wage garnishment and harassment.
We can help you explore many topics about life after bankruptcy, including:
- Rebuilding your credit and improving your score
- Buying a home after discharge
- Buying a car after discharge
- Dealing emotionally with filing for bankruptcy
Our attorneys will work with you personally to help you understand the impact bankruptcy will have and what possible issues you may have in the months and years after filing for bankruptcy. We don't want there to be any surprises. Our goal is helping you put your debt problems behind you and helping you enjoy a financial fresh start.
Avoiding future problems
The 2005 amendment to the Bankruptcy Code require all individual debtors to receive debtor education, or a "personal financial management course," before they receive a discharge. The course helps people improve their budgeting skills and stay out of future financial trouble.
