Chapter 7 Debt Elimination and Complete Discharge

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is designed for consumers who lack the disposable income to repay burdensome credit obligations. If you need a bankruptcy lawyer to eliminate qualifying unsecured debt and protect your family assets, Geraci Law provides comprehensive guidance. Their Chapter 7 practice includes:

• Performing accurate means test assessments under Illinois median income standards to confirm Chapter 7 qualification.
• Discharging unsecured debts, including credit card balances, personal signature loans, medical bills, and utility deficiencies.
• Applying Illinois statutory property exemptions to protect equity in your primary home, automobile, and retirement accounts.
• Utilizing proprietary case preparation software to ensure petitions are filed accurately and without administrative delays.
• Preparing and representing debtors during the Section 341 meeting of creditors with appointed federal bankruptcy trustees.

Chapter 13 Debt Consolidation and Foreclosure Halting

For wage earners facing mortgage foreclosure, vehicle repossession, or who possess assets exceeding Chapter 7 statutory exemptions, Chapter 13 consolidation provides a structured path forward. Under Chapter 13, individuals consolidate their debts into an affordable, court-supervised repayment plan spanning three to five years. The firm assists clients with:

• Invoking the federal automatic stay to halt imminent sheriff foreclosure sales and preserve homeownership.
• Consolidating past-due mortgage arrears and property taxes into predictable monthly payments without added penalties.
• Stopping vehicle repossessions and reducing qualifying automobile loan balances to actual market values.
• Restructuring nondischargeable debts, including certain state and federal tax liabilities, into affordable payments.
• Refiling and rescuing failed Chapter 13 cases that were mishandled by inexperienced or high-volume practitioners.
