Will a Chapter 7 Take a Long Time to Help Me?

A Chapter 7 can eliminate your debt in as little as 90 days. That means you could have the credit card debt, wage garnishment, and repossession help you’ve been praying for in a matter of months. Doesn’t seem too long compared to the time you’ve spent under the immense weight of debt, huh?

Your time line is really filled up with the time that you’ve spent being in debt. Debt can truly creep up on you. It starts when you miss a payment or can’t pay the full balance on your card. Soon collection agencies are calling you incessantly. Soon, they are garnishing your wages and threatening to go after your other property. The hardest decision from there is figuring out the right time to ask for help. There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel as soon as you schedule your free consultation.

Once you’ve met with a bankruptcy lawyer and decided to get help, you start to see the benefits of a Chapter 7 immediately. Though the discharge may take some time, your creditors are forced to stop calling once you’ve filed your case. You may also see a garnishment on your pay check disappear and the threat of repossession and foreclosure subside. Now, your money and property is yours again. You can come home from work with the knowledge that you can put food on the table, protect your family from creditors, and live without the burden of debt.

You’ll have your fresh start in just a few months.

Doesn’t 90 days seem like nothing compared to how long you’ve been crushed by overwhelming amounts of debt. As soon as you decide to file bankruptcy and get rid of your debt, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy time line starts to pick up the pace.
