Bankruptcy Basics: Debt Relief Options For Denver Residents

Filing for bankruptcy allows debtors to get a fresh start through the liquidation of their assets or the creation of a repayment plan if they are unable to pay their debts. Financially troubled businesses are also protected by bankruptcy laws.

Bankruptcy is a legal process overseen by federal courts that allows individuals, couples, and businesses to discharge or repay debts over certain periods of time. Bankruptcy eliminates or reduces all of your general debts, including credit card debt, medical bills, and signature loans. It also puts an immediate end to foreclosures and repossessions, allows you to defer student loans, and can even reduce your vehicle interest rates and payments.

Key Advantages of Bankruptcy for Denver Individuals and Families

Some of the benefits of filing for bankruptcy include that it allows you to:

  • Reorganize your debts
  • Catch up on missed or past-due payments
  • Halt collection activities, such as foreclosure or repossession
  • Do away with your personal responsibility for certain eligible debts

Which Debts Can Be Discharged in Denver Bankruptcy Filings?

Although bankruptcy can eliminate most unsecured debts, it will not negate all financial obligations. The exact types of debts you may be able to discharge through bankruptcy depend on how those debts are classified (secured vs. unsecured) and what type of bankruptcy you file (Chapter 7, Chapter 13, etc.).
