Should I wait and try to negotiate with my creditors?

Waiting to file and negotiating with creditors leaves you unprotected against other creditors who may begin garnishing your wages, bank accounts or tax refunds. Also, many times creditors are unwilling to accept feasible payment options, and interest accrues in the meantime. When you file bankruptcy, you are protected by the “Automatic Stay,” which prevents all creditors from collecting from you. Our consultations are absolutely free, you have nothing to lose. Give Freedom Law a call today.

Why not try debt consolidation, credit repair, or other debt programs?

Many of our clients come to us after previously engaging in a “credit repair” or “debt consolidation” program. These individuals who really need to file bankruptcy find that they wasted money and time while trying to engage in a consolidation. Many of the programs extend broken promises to make credit problems go away and leave the client with judgments and deficient accounts still lingering on their credit reports. These are the things that drag down your score and could be completely wiped clean with a bankruptcy.

Some debt consolidation companies trick consumers into taking debt that could be discharged in a bankruptcy and turning them into home-equity loans or other non-dischargeable loans! It is extremely important to get the advice of an experienced bankruptcy attorney to review your debt and financial situation. Call us today for a free consultation.
