Picture of Ed Bailey

James and Charlotte were just served with court papers.

They never meant to fall behind in their house payments, but he was out of work for 3 months with a back injury and just couldn't help it. He's back to work now and trying to make the payments, but the finance companies won't take any less than the amount needed to catch up the amount he owes. He and Charlotte are losing sleep because they don't have any place to move right now, and their kids like the school they are attending.

Hello! My name is Ed Bailey. We see this type of thing all the time and we can help. The solution … file bankruptcy. Here are some of the things that bankruptcy can do:

  • It immediately stops all calls and threats by all finance companies, including all lawsuits and foreclosures ... dead in their tracks.
  • The finance companies can no longer call, write, sue, repossess, or do anything to collect the debt.
  • A Chapter 13 bankruptcy gives you a payment plan to catch up missed payments over 3-5 years. In the payment plan, your purchase loans are refinanced at a low interest rate, and all unsecured creditors can be paid as little as 1% of their debt. This lowers your payments to creditors so that you can afford to live. You can keep everything you own.
  • In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you simply wipe out all or almost all of your debt, except that you can keep making your house and car payments if you wish to keep them.
  • In some situations, either type of bankruptcy can completely get rid of 2nd and 3rd mortgages.

If you are in a mess like James and Charlotte, whether caused by too much debt, unexpected expenses, loss of income, job loss, illness/injury, or for any other reason, please contact us right away to see what we can do for you. You can't wait too long though because, if a foreclosure or car repo has been started, you need to file bankruptcy fast to stop them.

Bankruptcy Law is a Specialty

Bankruptcy law requires special skills and you should not trust someone who claims to be a bankruptcy lawyer, but doesn't have much experience in bankruptcy law or with the trustees, judges, and finance company attorneys at the bankruptcy court. If you're going to pay for a bankruptcy lawyer, you should make sure you get a good one. Understandably, however, with all of the advertising, it can be difficult to decide.

For over 30 years, I have dedicated my law practice entirely to representing individuals like you in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies. I do not represent corporations, I do not represent loan companies, and I do not practice in any other area of law. My office has filed over 8,000 cases.

Because my practice is limited to debt relief only, I am able to offer very good representation to all of my clients with serious debt problems. I stay on top of any new developments in the bankruptcy laws so that you can be assured that you have the best legal representation possible.
