What is the difference between Chap. 7 and Chap. 13 bankruptcy?

Chap. 7 is also referred to as liquidation bankruptcy or a complete bankruptcy, Debtors can discharge many of their debts and must liquidate their nonexempt assets to pay their creditors. Chap. 13 allows debtors to establish a payment plan over the course of three to five years. This prevents them from having to liquidate their assets. Our bankruptcy lawyer can help you determine which chapter you should file when you set up your free initial consultation.

When and where can debt collectors contact me?

Generally, debt collectors may contact you by phone, mail, email or text message. Under the FDCPA, they may not call before 8 AM or after 9 PM without your permission. They might call you at work, but if you inform them that your workplace does not allow you to receive these calls, they must cease.
