Whether or not to begin a bankruptcy proceeding is a question that many people struggle with. These same people are surprised to learn that obtaining financial freedom is not as difficult as they first thought. The fact of the matter is that, for many, the sooner you consult with an attorney then the sooner you will learn that you can afford to begin the process. Also, beginning the process means you will start to save money, re-establish your credit, stop harassment by debt collectors, and protect your financial freedom.

Nebraska residents who consult with our attorneys learn that bankruptcy is affordable and good for their credit
Nebraskans may be in financial distress but do not call a lawyer. They tell themselves “I can’t afford to hire a lawyer.” The truth is that bankruptcy is affordable and typically results in restoring your credit rating much sooner than if you don’t file.
The reasons for affordability are simple. In a chapter 7 bankruptcy you can eliminate many of your monthly payments. In a chapter 13 bankruptcy your monthly payments will typically be $100-$150 per month, which is much lower than what people typically pay on their debt. The reduction or elimination of monthly payments makes the process affordable. If you are making high monthly payments then one option is to skip those payments and use the funds to start your bankruptcy. Also, the longer you wait to file then the longer you are subjected to situations such as wage garnishment, liability for unpaid taxes, and responsibility for unpaid mortgages.

Bankruptcy can also restore your credit more quickly than if you don’t file. After your debts have been discharged then you will have a fresh start and your debt-to-income level will be ideal. Also, the bankruptcy will be removed from your credit reports after ten years, while consistently making your debt payments late because you have not filed for bankruptcy, can harm your credit for much longer. The sooner you file then the sooner you achieve a financial reboot.
