FRANKFORT BANKRUPTCY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Do you Live in Frankfort, Indiana and have a Lawsuit?

Lawsuits are stopped and shut down by filing bankruptcy. Lawsuits are "stayed" until the are usually dismissed by the creditor or the court. There are only very limited exceptions to this rule such as divorce or child support suits.

Do live in Frankfort, Indiana and have a Garnishment on your Paycheck?

These garnishments are a result of an order coming out of a creditor's state court collection lawsuit. The order says that your employer must start taking portions out of your paycheck to pay back the creditor's debt. Bankruptcy stops garnishments and usually shuts down (or "stays") all lawsuits against you.

Do you live in Clinton County and your Home is in Forclosure?

A foreclosure action or sheriff sale is either cancelled or postponed by the bankruptcy filing. Usually, Chapter 7 only postpones the forclosure process. Chapter 13 has the ability to permanently cancel a foreclosure action by allowing the filer to pay back the arrears of the home through the Chapter 13 plan payments.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Frankfort:

This is the Bankruptcy that allows you to get a full "Fresh Start." Your debts are fully eliminated (with some exceptions such as student loans). You can keep your house and car(s) if you can afford to keep making the payments. This the most common bankruptcy. It is the Bankruptcy that approximately 85% of people from the Frankfort Area choose to file to get relief. Some restrictions on income and assets can apply.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Frankfort:

This the "Reorganization" Bankruptcy that allows you to reorganize your debts into a more affordable payment plan that will last for 3-5 years. This bankruptcy can negotiate better terms sometimes for the payback of your loans. This bankruptcy can also be used to stop foreclosure and bring house payments up to date. Approximately 15% of people living in the Frankfort area file this type of bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy is also chosen when it is not possible to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy due to income, asset, or prior filing restrictions.
