Alternatives to Bankruptcy
Professional Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Litigators
An assumption that people frequently make is that when they are in a great deal of debt, they need to file for bankruptcy. While bankruptcy is a great option for many people who are in debt, it is not the best option for everyone. Instead of assuming that they will have to file for bankruptcy, people should try to become more aware of the alternatives to bankruptcy. There are several alternatives to bankruptcy that allow people to:
- get out of debt
- settle debt
- stop foreclosure on their homes
- stop vehicle repossession
- rebuild/repair credit
Instead of filing for bankruptcy to resolve debts, people may consider alternatives like debt consolidation or debt settlement. Both debt consolidation and debt settlement allow people to pro-actively confront their debt and resolve delinquencies with creditors. By obtaining a debt consolidation loan or settling debts, people can repay the debts that they owe over a short amount of time while avoiding bankruptcy proceedings.
In cases where people are facing foreclosure, two viable options are loan modification and short sale. Loan modifications allow people to change the terms of their home loans so that their mortgage is more affordable. This allows people to continue to pay off their home loans while preventing foreclosure. Short sales allow people to sell their homes and give the profit to their creditors. Usually, the profit is less than what the people owe to their creditors, but creditors and debtors will agree to this amount in advance.
