Carbondale, Illinois Bankruptcy Assistance

Piling debt is extremely detrimental. As outstanding debt continues to mount, it can completely destroy your life; taking away your vehicle or the very roof over your head. However, there are ways to prevent debt from ruining your life. By filing for bankruptcy, you can:

  1. Save Your Retirement Savings
  2. Protect Your Possessions
  3. Stop Vehicle Repossession
  4. End Creditor Harassment
  5. Avoid Home Foreclosure
  6. Eliminate Credit Card Debt

Better yet, when you file with A Bankruptcy Law Firm, LLC, you will be working with bankruptcy attorneys who only handle Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 consumer bankruptcy cases. Over the course of the last decade, we’ve helped hundreds of Carbondale residents improve their financial situations and eliminate debt. The national bankruptcy laws applied by the state of Illinois can be extremely forgiving. In most cases, debtors can discharge unsecured debts such as medical expenses, utility bills, payday loan debt, deficiency debt related to vehicle repossessions and home foreclosure, credit card debt, and more. As bankruptcy specialists, we pride ourselves in delivering exceptional results in a timely manner.

Why Contact A Bankruptcy Law Firm?

With mounting debt, and no foreseeable way out in the near future, you need solutions and not more problems. Too often, individuals will overlook bankruptcy in favor of quick fixes. Such fixes include, but are not limited to:

  1. Mistakenly selling assets protected from creditors
  2. Borrowing money from family and friends
  3. Taking out cash advances on credit cards
  4. Liquidating retirement accounts to make bill payments
  5. Securing loans from payday loan companies at interest rates well over 50%
  6. Engaging in fraudulent/illegal activity
  7. Writing bad checks

The problem with these alternative solutions is that they are only temporary band-aids. In the long-run, any of the aforementioned fixes will damage your finances further. In some cases, the repercussions can last for years or even decades. Thus, it’s important to consider all of your options before taking any course of action in an attempt to mend your finances.
