If you have large debts that you can’t repay, are behind in your mortgage payments and in danger of foreclosure, are being harassed by bill collectors—or all of the above—declaring bankruptcy might be your answer. Or it might not be. Bankruptcy can, in some cases, reduce or eliminate your debts, save your home and keep those bill collectors at bay, but it also has serious consequences, including long-term damage to your credit score. That, in turn, can hamper your ability to borrow in the future, raise the rates you pay for insurance, and even make it difficult to get a job.

FAQs
What are some of my other debt relief options?
Bankruptcy is not a one-size-fits all solution to dealing with excessive debts. In lieu of bankruptcy, you may be able to seek relief from oppressive debts through refinancing property, loan modifications, mortgage lending, debt consolidation, debt settlement and a number of other options.
Do I really need a lawyer?
Yes. While New York law does not require legal representation during bankruptcy or debt relief proceedings, it is strongly recommended you hire a lawyer to protect your interests and ensure paperwork is completed accurately and submitted on time.
Which ones will I still have to pay?
Bankruptcy cannot get rid of unsecured debts such as: Fraudulent debts Certain back taxes Alimony Child support Student loans Select credit card purchases and cash advances made within recent months Select fines or penalties owed to government agencies
What is secured debt?
Secured debts are those backed by mortgages and pledges of collateral. Creditors may collect or pursue reimbursement for defaulted secured debts, including cars and houses.
What does filing for bankruptcy do to my credit score?
Because bankruptcy discharges many debts, filing for bankruptcy can improve your credit over time. The fact that you filed for bankruptcy will appear on your credit report for anywhere from seven to 10 years, but the large debts that lowered your score will no longer be there to damage your credit rating.
You can find more info on the FAQ page of our website.
