• Reaffirmation Agreements: In some cases, debtors may be interested in a reaffirmation agreement so that they can keep specific properties. We can advise you on whether this is a good idea for your situation.
• Stopping Creditor Harassment: Creditors can be relentless when it comes to collecting your debt. If you are tired of creditors harassing you and contacting you at all hours for payments, consider filing bankruptcy to put a stop to the calls.
• Stopping Repossession: If your car is in danger of being repossessed or has already been taken by creditors, filing for bankruptcy may help you get your car back.
