Obtain Debt Relief Quickly And Effectively

Eligible individuals may obtain relief from nonexempt debt by filing for consumer bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. While not all debt obligations can be discharged (such as child support obligations, student loans and tax obligations) much of your burdensome debt can be eliminated through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding, including most:

  • Credit card debt
  • Past-due utility bills
  • Medical bills
  • Default loan penalties and interest
  • Personal loans
  • Deficiency balances from surrendered or repossessed vehicles
  • Past-due HOA or condominium association dues
  • Other debts

A common misconception about Chapter 7 bankruptcy is that debtors are not able to keep any property, including their home. In Maryland many, actually most, Chapter 7 debtors lose none of their property. Every situation is different but it is very possible to keep your home, vehicles, home furnishings and personal belongings.

The end result of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is that your legal obligation to pay on a wide variety of debt is discharged. A financial "fresh start" is granted. Most, if not all, of your burdensome debt can be eliminated.
