Filing for Bankruptcy, When Is a Good Time to-do It?
When should we file for bankruptcy? The answer to that question is complicated. There are a lot of different factors to consider. I think a more appropriate question is, “When should we start talking to an attorney about filing for bankruptcy?” The answer to that is as soon as possible. As soon as you begin to even think that you might need to file for bankruptcy, you should get in touch with us and arrange a free consultation. Often times, we see folks that have done things prior to filing for bankruptcy that caused them problems down the road. We can counsel them about that and help them avoid those problems. Another thing that we see people do far too often is take money out of their retirement accounts and use that money to try to repay some of their debts, debts that could be eliminated in either a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Those retirement funds are protected by law, and you can file a bankruptcy with plenty of money in the in the in the retirement account and not have to worry about it. Again, the time to call us to talk about filing for bankruptcy is the moment that you might need to file for bankruptcy. Our consultations are free. There’s no cost. There’s no obligation. Get in touch with us as soon as you think you might need to file for bankruptcy. We’ll be happy to sit down with you and talk about your situation. Give us a call today at 317-759-1483.
