Tampa Florida Credit Repair Lawyer
Many people are reluctant to file for bankruptcy because they fear what it will do to their credit rating and their ability to get loans or financing. Our clients have a number of common concerns:
- Can I file for bankruptcy again in the future? Yes, but there is a time restriction. You must wait eight years before filing for a second chapter 7 bankruptcy.
- Can I keep one of my credit cards? The credit card companies usually cancel your credit cards. You still have the option of paying cash, using a debit card, or a pay-ahead credit card.
- Can I get a new car loan? Usually this is not a problem because it is a secured loan. The auto lender can always repossess the car if you default on your payments.
- Will I lose my home? That largely depends on your payment record and your current income status. We would be happy to answer your bankruptcy and mortgage questions.
The Purpose of Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy laws were not created to embarrass you. They were created by the government to allow people to start over and once again become tax paying members of society. We can help you get there.
"If you having been paying on the same debt for four or five years, you have probably been paying interest only. You have been living within your means by not generating new debt. Filing for bankruptcy can allow you to finally get ahead." — Bankruptcy lawyer Wendy DePaul
