Understanding the Basics of the Bankruptcy Process

Do you have questions about the bankruptcy process? The complexity of the process can keep many people away, but an attorney can make things clearer. At Atlas Consumer Law, we can answer any questions you may have about the bankruptcy process. If bankruptcy is not right for you, we can also help you explore other debt relief options.

• File your bankruptcy petition: Once your case has been filed with the court, an automatic stay will go into effect. This is a legal junction that protects you from creditor harassment, foreclosure, and wage garnishment.
• The 341 creditors meeting: About 20-40 days after filing, you will attend a 341 meeting with your bankruptcy trustee. This is also known as a “creditors meeting” because your creditors will be invited to come.
• Chapter 7 debt discharge: If you have filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you can expect to receive a discharge of debts within two months of filing—which means that you are no longer obligated to repay these debts.
• Chapter 13 repayment plan: If you have filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you would establish a payment plan with your trustee. This payment plan must be executed over the next three to five years, depending on the case.

While this process may seem overwhelming, our Chicago bankruptcy attorneys are here to make it as simple and straightforward as possible for our clients. We will handle every aspect of your case, from preparing for the initial filing to giving you legal advice on life after bankruptcy, so please do not hesitate to get in touch with our firm today.

Protecting Your Rights During Bankruptcy and Beyond

When handling bankruptcies, most law firms wish their clients good luck and exit the scene as soon as their bankruptcy has been finalized. This is not the case at our firm. We have created our "Protect The Discharge" program in order to make sure that your rights are protected. Under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, consumers are protected from creditor harassment after a debt discharge. We can take legal action in order to seek justice on your behalf.
