There are a lot of misconceptions about Missouri or Illinois bankruptcy. We will debunk the top three.

1. Bankruptcy is for dead beats. Ok, if this were true, there would be no reason for Missouri or Illinois bankruptcy at all. Bankruptcy isn’t there to protect “deadbeats.” It’s there to help people experiencing financial hardship. You know most people file a Missouri or Illinois bankruptcy because of a catastrophic event, like a medical debt or a job loss. But, even if you are not one of those, there are a lot of other legitimate reasons to be in financial hardship. Bankruptcy is simply a responsible way to get your family a fresh start.
2. Bankruptcy destroys your credit. First, a Missouri or Illinois bankruptcy does show up on your credit report, but that doesn’t mean that you would be better off in your present situation without a bankruptcy. More than likely, if you are ready to pursue bankruptcy, your credit score has already suffered quite a bit. Bankruptcy can get you credit card debt help, stop wage garnishments, and get you relief from your creditors so you can restart your financial life and begin rebuilding your credit.
3. I will lose my home if I file for bankruptcy. 99% of my clients don’t lose property. That’s what a St. Louis bankruptcy attorney is there for. There are a lot of different options depending on your situation to get you protection your home from foreclosure. If there aren’t enough exemptions provided for you by Chapter 7, you may be able to get protection from foreclosure in a Chapter 13.
