Are You Buried in Credit Card Debt? Let Hitchcock & Associates Help

Many people feel embarrassed by their debt problems. Still others feel that it is somehow immoral or wrong to use the bankruptcy process to escape debts. We want you to know that you do not have to be embarrassed or ashamed of your predicament. If you have accumulated more debt than you can pay, the bankruptcy process was designed to help you.

Depending on your income and assets, either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy could be the credit card debt remedy you are looking for. They both can be used to ease your debt load over time.

Using a Chapter 7 strategy, no credit card use is allowed for 120 days. Debts are generally dischargeable, except for luxury items. Under Chapter 13, all or part of a credit card bill can be reorganized into a payment plan that allows you to make manageable payments. Then, after three to five years of paying on that plan, your remaining debts may be discharged.

Don't Get Scammed or Ripped Off

Often, when someone accumulates substantial credit card debt, they become susceptible to debt consolidation scams that are advertised on television. These programs typically just lead to more debt and even greater financial headaches.

Some people may be persuaded to use their retirement savings or 401(k) funds to pay off credit card debt. Still others turn to "payday loans" with outrageous interest rates attached. Don't fall into these traps. Talk to an attorney before you take any of these drastic steps.
