- Spousal SupportThe beginning stages of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy are an ideal time to address student loans, overdue taxes, or back child support or alimony. Addressing your domestic support obligations during bankruptcy may keep you out of legal trouble in the future.

The downward spiral into foreclosure begins when your loan payment becomes 16 days overdue. At that point, your mortgage lender may try to contact you to work out a repayment schedule to bring your loan current. If your payments fall 90 days behind, the mortgage company will likely refer your mortgage to an attorney that will start formal foreclosure proceedings. At Debt Advisors, we will review your situation and help you arrive at decisions that are best for your circumstances. Below are the two most used bankruptcy options for stopping a foreclosure...
- Debt CollectionSome collection tactics include asking you for money, even after a bankruptcy “automatic stay†is in place. This is against the law. There are key laws designed to protect consumers – to protect you. Every consumer has the right to sue a debt collector or collection agency for violating one of these laws. A persistent bill collector is a pain. One that acts unlawfully is unacceptable. Until you are harassed by a debt collector, you may not realize that they get out of hand as often as they do. In the process of debt collection, there are strict legal and ethical guidelines that must be followed. When the collection agency crosses the line, it’s your chance to take legal action against them. We hope to educate people about how to recognize illegal actions by creditors, as well as what your legal rights are as a consumer.
