Milwaukee Bankruptcy Attorney | How Chapter 11 Works As your Wisconsin business Bankruptcy Attorney can explain to you, when a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is put into place, the debtor maintains the control as well as the ownership of the business assets. The debtor and creditors must work with the court to structure a plan for repayment of the debt. At the same time, the debtor is responsible for keeping the business operating. The creditors must agree on requirements that the court requests, such as fairness between the creditors or a certain priority of one creditor above another. The plan is put to a vote and the creditors must approve it. If there are issues of disagreement, the court will include additional requirements or adjustments to the original plan until it is approved and finalized. You will find that compassion and understanding are qualities that each business Bankruptcy Attorney at the Law Office of Richard A. Check is willing to share with you. We understand that financial problems can happen with any business, no matter how hard you try to stay on top of things. We are here to provide the support and advice you need so that you can begin to look to the future with optimism again. Contact us today to schedule an appointment to go over your situation.

FAQs

What things should I avoid before filing bankruptcy?

There are numerous mistakes that I see people make before bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is complicated and is filled with numerous traps and pitfalls. If you are beginning to encounter financial difficulties, it is never too early to consult with a bankruptcy attorney. By meeting with an experienced Milwaukee bankruptcy attorney early enough, you can ensure you won't make some of the many mistakes that can complicate your bankruptcy case. Some of the many mistakes I often see include:Large amounts of credit card use before filing bankruptcy - including charges, cash advances and balance transfersPaying off loans to friends or relatives prior to filing bankruptcyTransferring or selling an asset because you are worried about losing it when you file bankruptcyConcealing assets or not disclosing assets to your attorney

Who can file bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy can be filed by a corporation or an individual. Married couples don't have to file together. In some cases it is advisable for one spouse to file and not the other. If you and your spouse are not getting along or if you are not sure whether you want to file with your spouse, it is recommended that you call an attorney to schedule your first meeting without your spouse being present. During the meeting, I can help you decide whether you should include your spouse in your bankruptcy filing or not.

Will I be required to go to court if I file bankruptcy?

You won't have to appear in front of a judge, especially if the attorney does his or her job. You will, however, be required to attend a 341 meeting and meet with a bankruptcy trustee. These meetings are usually held at a courthouse near you. If you hire Sapinski Law Office, S.C., my team will fully prepare you for this meeting and will make sure all the required documents are submitted. With this ground work, you will find the meeting to be quite painless. Most of the time, the 341 meeting is a short and simple procedure. You will be asked, under oath, about your bankruptcy forms and financial situation. In most cases, creditors do not bother to even show up for the meeting! On occasion, complications can arise or a creditor may choose to dispute a debt. In these situations you may need to appear before a judge at a hearing. If you need to go to court, you will receive a notice from the court and from your attorney.

What else do I need to know about bankruptcy?

Here are some more things that you should know about filing for bankruptcy:Utility services - Public utilities, such as WE Energies, cannot refuse to cut off services because you have filed bankruptcy; however, they may require you to provide a deposit for future service. Discrimination - An employer or government agency cannot discriminate against you because you have filed bankruptcy. Driver's license - If you lost your license solely because you could not pay court-ordered damages you caused in an accident, bankruptcy may allow you to get your license back. Co-signers - If someone has co-signed a loan with you and you file bankruptcy, the co-debtor may be required to pay the debt (however, Chapter 13 may help to resolve that problem).

How long will it take to rebuild my credit?

You may be able to reach a good credit score in as little as a few months. You may not be able to apply for a credit card right away, but you may be able to use secured credit cards, secured loans, and retail cards to build back your credit. Those who follow my free credit restoration program find they have their best credit ever within a few months after completing their bankruptcy.
