What are the Options to get rid of Credit card debt?

There are various proven legal options for debt reduction, including debt settlement, debt relief and bankruptcy. Experienced debt relief attorneys will know the best option for the best result under your specific circumstances, including Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

In our bank-owned society, bankruptcy is often regarded as a last resort, a decision that will crush your creditworthiness in perpetuity. But this simply isn’t true. Thousands of our post-bankruptcy clients swear by the bankruptcy system and enjoy solid financial futures as a result of past bankruptcy protection and relief.

Why You Should Consider All Avenues for Debt Reduction

Bankruptcy is an important legal decision that has saved many people, but only with the benefit of experienced legal counsel from debt relief attorneys. In certain circumstances, it is the appropriate method to a lasting financial future within increased credit scores and a healthy reduction in your overall household debt burden-all while preserving your savings and retirement portfolios that took decades of work to build and grow.

Benefits of Bankruptcy in Debt Relief and Credit Improvement

Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides reduction or elimination of overwhelming debt and begins a new era of reduced debt, and rising credit scores.

Chapter 13 allows individuals to restructure all forms of debt. Chapter 13 Plans create manageable and affordable three- to five-year repayment of existing arrears while eliminating or modifying non-priority secured and general unsecured debt.

Should I File Bankruptcy or Try Credit/Debt Management?

If you feel like you are drowning in debt, you are probably receiving many offers from debt management and credit consolidation companies promising to help you pay off or manage your debt. At first, their proposals and offers sound reasonable and appealing, but most of these programs don’t take the time to be sure that their plans will really work for your specific problems. They offer alternatives to bankruptcy under the guise of credit management, debt management or mortgage modification.

Never trust any management programs that don’t include extensive early budget review and an in-person free analysis.

There may very well be options available to you, but often these ubiquitous, impersonal companies from distant states do not have your best interests in mind. Most of the companies that solicit you are actually in the finance business themselves. None of them take the time or effort to understand your budget in full, they don’t live in your community and they don’t meet you in person. These programs don’t take the time and resources necessary to customize a plan that might work for you. Many are out-of-state companies and Internet scams that actually make matters considerably worse by collecting your hard-earned money, and not paying your creditors. The company selling the plan always benefits even when you don’t. This leads to lost opportunities and lawsuits.

At The Law Offices of Neil Crane, we help our clients throughout Connecticut avoid the myriad scams in credit consolidation and mortgage modification. Your problems and our solutions require a face-to-face meeting to guide our clients toward the best resolution for their particular needs, goals and personal situation. It cannot be overstated that it is in your best interest to consult with a highly qualified and experienced bankruptcy and debt relief lawyer before making decisions that will significantly impact your life and financial future.

Finding the Right Debt Solution for Your Budget

Debt negotiators and consolidators often prey upon people with money problems because that is how their own business is designed to make money. They are well aware of how trusting and vulnerable a person can be when suffocated by debt. They profit from everyone’s desire not to meet personally or hire an attorney. For months, they will promise to negotiate down your debt, settle a small bill and continue charging you fees. In the end, you don’t have a full and successful resolution, and you’ve squandered your household money on an ineffective program or scam that plays on your hopes and fears. Time and money are wasted and lawsuits often result where they were entirely avoidable through qualified and experienced legal advice.

In many cases, not all bills are covered by the plan. Collection actions continue, harassing phone calls do not cease, and you continue to snowball deeper into debt and lawsuits. You end up paying monthly fees you can ill afford, usually by the company’s direct deduction from your accounts. These monthly deductions often continue as creditors commence lawsuits against you here in Connecticut.

While true debt consolidation can be a very valuable alternative to bankruptcy, your case needs to be analyzed and crafted by a trained and insightful professional who possesses a full complement of experience, knowledge and skill coupled with an intimate in-person understanding of your special circumstances, and the unique financial demands of life in Connecticut. Instead of a solution, they become another direct deduction from your dwindling bank account.

We take the time and interest to meet with you to explore all options for reaching a solid, permanent solution. Not a band-aid quick fix, but something that will help you thrive for the long-term.
