Protecting Our Clients’ Rights In Common And Complex Bankruptcies

Being in serious debt can be incredibly stressful. Being harassed by creditors is exasperating. Feeling powerless to fix a financial problem is demoralizing. Seeing the negative impact of debt on your family can be difficult. Federal law, rooted in the United States Constitution, provides protection to individuals and businesses saddled with debts they cannot afford to pay off. Through federal bankruptcy court, you may be able to deal with problem debt in a decisive way.

Understanding Bankruptcy In Kentucky

It can feel daunting to consider the many administrative steps in filing bankruptcy. While every bankruptcy case is unique, everyone must follow the same following steps:

  1. First, you will file a two-page petition for bankruptcy with your district court. This must also include several documents detailing the current state of your finances.
  2. After you file your paperwork, the court will enact an automatic stay. This prevents your creditors from harassing you about your debts. The stay also halts any foreclosure actions.
  3. Then, you will meet with your bankruptcy trustee and your creditors. If you are filing Chapter 7, you will discuss liquidating your nonexempt assets. If you are filing Chapter 13, you will discuss your repayment plan. In this meeting, it is wise to have an attorney with you to advocate for your best interests.
  4. You must also take mandatory financial education courses before receiving your debt discharge.
  5. Finally, the court will discharge your eligible debts.

Blankenship Massey & Associates, Attorneys at Law, can guide you through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, handling the legal burden and explaining the process in plain English along the way.
