Minneapolis Bankruptcy Lawyer

If you’re struggling financially, then you might want to know “how can bankruptcy help me?”.

Here’s what you need to know.

• If you are being garnished, filing for bankruptcy in Minnesota will stop the garnishment or judgment and can get the money back.
• If you are in the foreclosure process, a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy stops the foreclosure and gives you 5 years to catch up on the mortgage.
• If you are behind on your car or truck payments or if a creditor is threatening repossession, a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can stop that. Chapter 13 allows us to lower the interest rate and loan balance on car loans that are at least 2 and a half years old.
• Taxes that are 4 years old and older often go away in bankruptcy. Walker & Walker can pull the transcripts from the IRS to make sure. Bankruptcy is often easier than dealing with the IRS and Minnesota Department of Revenue.
• It is easy to fall into a debt trap which becomes a treadmill. If debt payments mean that you can’t save for retirement or an emergency fund, bankruptcy can fix that problem by stopping the debt payments.
• If your hours went down or you lost your job and you lost income, then bankruptcy is an organized way to lower your monthly expenses with dignity. Walker & Walker explains to the court and to the creditors why the case makes sense, and they must accept that you won’t give them more payments.
• If your business isn’t profitable and has debts, then we can either restructure loans, or help you exit a business without having the debt follow you or losing your personal assets to pay business debt.
