Bankruptcy Overview
Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the easiest and fastest way to eliminate debt. This type of filing can eliminate all your unsecured debts, such as credit card bills, personal loans, repossessions, foreclosures, wage garnishments or medical bills. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a debt reorganization, which allows you, through your best efforts, to reimburse your creditors through the courts for a maximum period of 5 years.
Bankruptcy process
The bankruptcy process involves working with us to gather all the information necessary to file your petition, to attend a meeting of creditors in order to confirm the information you filed towards the ultimate goal of receiving a discharge of your debts.

Harassment by creditors and collection agencies can cause a variety of stress. Fortunately, you are protected by federal and California laws from abusive or misleading collection practices. Find out how you can end creditor harassment through bankruptcy.
