Are There Alternatives to Bankruptcy?
Yes, there are alternatives to bankruptcy. These alternatives include debt consolidation, informal settlement with creditors/debt settlements, mortgage modifications or a short sale of real property. There are also some options through estate planning and asset protection.
In order to best assist you with your needs, we will listen to what your goals are, examine your debts and work to develop the most effective strategy to meet your goals. We will address your concerns, answer your questions, address myths about bankruptcy and get you the information you need to make a smart decision. Here are some of the truths about bankruptcy:
- Bankruptcy is an immediate way to get a fresh start. Other alternatives can often take a long time to take effect.
- Bankruptcy is oftentimes better for your credit score. You can begin to rebuild your credit immediately after the petition is filed.
- Bankruptcy is much easier than most alternatives. It can often be much more difficult to negotiate an appropriate alternative with creditors. In a bankruptcy, you do not have to deal with creditors negotiating because they will be required to participate in the bankruptcy.
