Our nation's current economic climate has reached a critical state having been built around a less-than-ideal system of financial institutions such as credit companies and lenders.

Chapter 7 & Chapter 13
Two particular types of bankruptcy which can strongly aid in debt relief are:
Chapter 7 is an ideal option for individuals who want their debts discharged in the timeliest manner possible. It is also the better choice for people not earning steady income, or who are unemployed. Chapter 13 offers an alternative to qualifying people maintaining a steady income, but who need an extended amount of time to pay off their debt. The difference being mainly that people who file for Chapter 13 do not discharge their debt completely, but instead, pay if off over a period of 3-5 years.
To see if you are eligible for filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, contact our Charlotte bankruptcy lawyers for professional and friendly assistance.
