Financial Warning Signs to Lookout For

Every year, hundreds of thousands of families in the U.S. struggle to make ends meet. Unfortunately, many people do not consider bankruptcy as a viable solution for debt relief. Bankruptcy is a helpful - and sometimes crucial - option for many people struggling with overwhelming debt.

You may want to reassess your financial situation and consider bankruptcy if:
  • You are unable to make routine minimum payments required for credit cards and loans. This is a sign that you are in severe financial distress; don't ignore this as it becomes a regular concern.
  • You have been spending much more than you earn regularly. This means that you have been accumulating debt each month. Each month the debt gains interest, making the debt more expensive as you add on to it.
  • You are over your limit or at the limit on your credit cards. To maintain a healthy financial situation, it is important to remain under 30% of the credit limit on your credit cards and loans. If you are teetering at the limit and unable to pay down the debt, this can lead to trouble.
  • You are unable to pay each bill every month. You might be in trouble if you skip bills for one to two months at a time and are facing regular notices for collection.
  • You are not making enough money. Are you making enough money to cover your expenses each month while contributing to a savings account or an emergency fund? If not, you may be on your way to financial distress and bankruptcy.
  • You receive countless phone calls from credit agencies seeking payment for bills. When creditors are calling, it can be detrimental to the credit report as collections are the worst thing that your credit report can face. If you are unable to afford these payments, then it may be time to consider bankruptcy.
  • You are afraid to speak to your partner about money issues or avoid the topics altogether. This can be a sign of financial disarray and should not be ignored.
  • You have no idea about all the accounts on your credit report. You are unsure about which debts are paid or even how much you owe to creditors.

You have thought about bankruptcy or were considering filing with a bankruptcy attorney. When you have had these thoughts, chances are that meeting with a bankruptcy attorney is the next logical step to, at the very least, find out about your options.

Legal Guidance Tailored Specifically to Your Needs

You may have heard about large bankruptcy law firms where the clients never speak to the same attorney twice - if they ever speak to an attorney at all. Sometimes they are just offered phone consultations. At Lynch Law, LLC., that is not how we operate.

  • Chapter 11 bankruptcy - If you find your business in the red, it's important to take the necessary steps to resolve your debt issues.
  • Emergency filings - If you are in danger of losing your home or your car, an emergency bankruptcy filing may help you keep these possessions.

Benefits of Bankruptcy

If you are facing serious debt problems, bankruptcy may offer a powerful remedy.

Filing for bankruptcy can:

  • Wipe out credit card debt and other unsecured debts. Bankruptcy is very useful for wiping out credit card debt. Unless you have a special "secured" credit card, your credit card balance is an unsecured debt - that is, the creditor cannot repossess any items if you fail to pay the debt. This is precisely the kind of debt that bankruptcy is designed to eliminate. Besides credit card debt, you may have other unsecured debts that bankruptcy can also eliminate.
  • Stop creditor harassment and collection activities. Bankruptcy can stop creditor harassment - though if the "harassment" is simply phone calls and letters, there are simpler ways to stop it. If the harassment is more serious - for instance, if the creditor is about to repossess your car or foreclose your mortgage - bankruptcy can help.
  • Eliminate certain kinds of liens. A lien is a creditor's right to take some or all of your property and will survive bankruptcy unless you invoke certain procedures during your bankruptcy case.
