Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Eliminating Unsecured Debts

Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers qualified consumers a complete discharge of unsecured liabilities, allowing them to rebuild their finances without carrying impossible debt loads. Attorneys at Peter Francis Geraci Law thoroughly assess income, assets, and living expenses under the Wisconsin means test to determine Chapter 7 eligibility. Key protections include:

• Complete Debt Discharge: Wiping out credit card balances, medical bills, personal loans, and deficiency balances on repossessed assets.
• Immediate Automatic Stay: Halting civil lawsuits, creditor phone calls, wage garnishments, and bank account freezes the moment the bankruptcy petition is filed.
• Wisconsin Asset Exemptions: Applying generous state and federal bankruptcy exemptions to protect your home equity, retirement savings, vehicle, and household goods.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Reorganizing Debt and Saving Assets

For individuals with steady income who do not qualify for Chapter 7 or who are facing immediate foreclosure on their family home, Chapter 13 debt reorganization provides an orderly, court-supervised repayment plan lasting three to five years. Under Chapter 13 representation, Geraci Law helps clients:

• Cure mortgage arrears over time while stopping sheriff sales and foreclosure actions.
• Consolidate debts into one manageable monthly payment based strictly on what you can afford.
• Restructure and lower auto loan payments through vehicle cram-down options when permitted.
• Discharge remaining qualifying unsecured debt balances upon successful completion of the payment plan.

Stopping Wage Garnishments and Creditor Harassment

Wisconsin statutory laws permit creditors to garnish up to twenty percent of an employee's disposable earnings, creating immense financial hardship. Filing bankruptcy immediately triggers the federal automatic stay, forcing payroll departments and debt collectors to cease all collection activity instantly. In addition, the firm actively protects consumers against abusive debt collection practices that violate federal consumer rights statutes.
