Marietta offers valuable local resources to help residents facing financial challenges.

These resources, combined with professional guidance, can make a significant difference for those struggling with debt.

Types of Bankruptcy

Multiple types of bankruptcy are potentially available. When you come to our office, we will review your situation and advise which type of bankruptcy is right for you.

Our bankruptcy services in Marietta consist of:

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. If you have little to no current income, this type of bankruptcy can wipe out most or all of your debt entirely and give you a fresh start. Many people mistakenly believe that they will lose everything if they file for Chapter 7, but this is not the case. Most of our clients are able to keep their homes, vehicles, and other assets through the strategic use of exemptions and reaffirmation agreements.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to repay your debts through one affordable monthly payment under a court-approved reorganization plan, as part of a reorganization plan that lasts between 3 and 5 years. Your current disposable income determines the monthly payment amount. You can use this plan to pay back mortgage arrears, tax debt, child support debt, and most other forms of debt. You may also be able to pay pennies on the dollar for credit card debt, medical bills, and other unsecured debts.

Benefits of Bankruptcy

When you file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will receive immediate relief through the automatic stay. The automatic stay generally prevents creditors from seeking or continuing wage garnishments, lawsuits, foreclosures, repossessions, and other types of collection actions. Filing for bankruptcy can consequently stop an imminent foreclosure of your home or the repossession of your vehicle. You can then use the bankruptcy process to reorganize your finances, catch up on payments, and save assets you are in danger of losing.

Completing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy also typically allows you to eliminate many types of unsecured debt. Credit card debt, medical bills, unpaid utility bills, and personal loans will often be eliminated.

Is Bankruptcy the Right Option for You?

Bankruptcy is not the right fit for everyone. Our practice is limited to Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, so we do not offer debt settlement, debt consolidation, credit counseling, or loan modification, and we do not negotiate with creditors or lenders outside of bankruptcy. During your consultation, we will review your income, debts, and goals and tell you whether a bankruptcy filing makes sense for you.

At The Law Office of Danielle J. Eliot, P.C., our attorney can provide the capable guidance you need to determine which type of bankruptcy is right for you based on your individual situation. You may be eligible for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

How does bankruptcy affect my credit score?

Filing for bankruptcy may appear on your credit report for 7-10 years and could lower your credit score by 100-200 points, but it’s not the end of the road.

By improving spending and payment habits or using tools like a secured credit card, you can rebuild your credit and get back on track over time.

Do you offer debt settlement or negotiate with creditors?
