US Consumer Bankruptcy
We have answers!

US consumer bankruptcy can help you solve your financial problems using Title 11 of the Untied States Code. Whether you are considering:

Or you are in any of the following situations:

The federal bankruptcy code can be an option to either eliminate your liability completely or at least to restructure your debt so it is actually manageable.

We understand that bankruptcy has a stigma attached to it. Many people do not want to consider bankruptcy because they do not think it is for them. US consumer bankruptcy is here to help you understand that bankruptcy is your legal right.

The United States congress has enacted Title 11 to help people experiencing severe financial difficulties. Title 11 is an entire "code" enacted to give debtors the opportunity to get on their feet and ahead financially.

US Consumer Bankruptcy understands that filing bankruptcy is not for everyone and that, under certain circumstances, debtors will not be able to get a discharge. However, given the recent financial times and the struggles American families endure daily, the proper understanding of your legal rights and responsibilities is of extreme importance.

Americans are losing their homes, vehicles, savings, retirement, and jobs. Some are swimming in debt and are losing their health due to stress and harassment by bill collectors.

What makes matters worse is that most Americans have tried to negotiate and "fix" their financial problems by reaching out to their creditors. They tried to work some sort of agreement so the creditor will get paid for what they are owed, but with different terms.

Most lenders are failing to see the gravity of the situation and have been playing games with American consumers. Most of our visitors report that they have tried to refinance, lower their payments, modify their mortgages, applied for economic hardships, forbearances, attempted short sales, lower interest rates, but they have been flatly rejected or what is worse:

The lenders will put debtors on hold for several months to then later tell them that they are not approved for any relief... and that because they are behind for those months, that the debtor must make one lump sum payment to get the account caught up.

How can anyone save his or her home under this circumstance?

US consumer bankruptcy acknowledges that bankruptcy is a stressful process and that the petition will likely never leave your credit report. However, we question if living on fear, stress, and not being able to answer the telephone for fear of receiving yet another call is worth a blemish in a credit report (note: most consumers credit reports are already damaged by being behind on payments).

If debt is affecting your job, family, relationships, and it is keeping you up at night, then considering bankruptcy is a step in the right direction (even if you do not file). You will learn what your rights are. What duties the lenders have to follow and how to position yourself for financial success.

Many see bankruptcy as the end; however, bankruptcy is a beginning to a better financial life. Do not let fear or lack of information keep you from learning what you can and cannot do about your debt problems.

Ask yourself, what will be the effect of bankruptcy and what will be the effect of continuing to live the way you are right now? US Consumer bankruptcy attempts to help you in that process. Either decision is correct, so long as you have the proper information to make a wise decision.
