Chapter 7
Chapter 7 exists to relieve and discharge individuals and/or families from the unsecured debt obligations which they can no longer manage. Some of the main attributes of Chapter 7 are:
Peace of Mind
(Automatic Stay of All Debt Collection)
The filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case will give you and your family peace of mind. Upon the filing of the bankruptcy case, the Bankruptcy Court will enter an Automatic Stay Order that stays (STOPS), automatically, all debt collection activities against you and your property. This means that creditors cannot continue to call or visit you. Any scheduled court hearings are automatically paralyzed. Any pending repossession orders must be cancelled. The filing of a bankruptcy case will give you and your family, peace of mind.
The Automatic Stay stops, amongst others, the following debt collection activities:
-Wage Garnishments
-Summonses to Court
-Vehicle Repossessions
-Foreclosures
-Orders of Attachment and/or Garnishment
-Debt Collection Calls and/or debt collection letters

Debt Freedom
(Debt Relief)
