MYTHS ABOUT BANKRUPTCY - BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY IN HACKENSACK NJ (201) 646-3333

 

MYTHS ABOUT BANKRUPTCY


There are many misconceptions regarding bankruptcy that affect a person's decisions on whether they should file for bankruptcy protection or not.  When considering bankruptcy, it is best to obtain advice from a professional New Jersey bankruptcy lawyer like Rafael Gomez who has the legal expertise to answer all your questions.

At the Law Office of Rafael Gomez, we have the knowledge you will need to fully discuss your options when it comes to dealing with your debt and finding out if bankruptcy is right for you.  There are common myths abounding, which we will answer for you briefly. 


All my debts can be eliminated with bankruptcy.


Although you can discharge quite a few types of debt, certain ones such as child support, alimony, taxes and student loans are still owed and cannot be discharged through any type of bankruptcy.


My credit will be ruined for 10 years.


Although a bankruptcy will appear on your credit history for 10 years, your credit rating will begin to improve as time goes by and you re-establish your credit.  Your credit was probably already affected considerably if you had late payments or any wage garnishments or lawsuits.


Bankruptcy is hard to get through and qualify for.


When you have an experienced bankruptcy lawyer like Rafael Gomez working with you, the most difficult part of it will be in making your own personal decision as to whether  to file or not.  Your attorney will help you with determining which filing is right for you and will take care of all the legal paperwork.

My name is Stephanie Rosado, my family and I have been using Mr Gomez as our attorney for a really long time, he's been very useful and he can help you too. So give him a call now.





I will lose everything  I own.


Most bankruptcies do not affect your being able to keep all of your assets.  Many assets are protected by bankruptcy exemption laws.  In fact, the majority of people who file for bankruptcy give up none of their assets.


I will not be able to get credit again.


Not so.  Although  you will pay higher interest rates for a time, you will begin getting credit offers shortly after your filing. 


My employer will be notified when I file for bankruptcy.


When a person files for bankruptcy, he or she does not need to send a notification to his or her employer. Although bankruptcy cases are public records, it is unlikely that anyone will find out unless you tell them, or unless you are a celebrity or prominent businessperson of some kind (in which case the press may publish information about a bankruptcy case.)


If I file for bankruptcy I will never be able to buy a home or a car.


Most debtors are definitely able to purchase a home or a vehicle even after filing for bankruptcy. It usually takes approximately 2 years until you may purchase a home, and less time for an automobile purchase or for credit card offers.


I will lose my house and my car if I file for bankruptcy.


Although Chapter 7 is associated with a “liquidation” of assets, this does not necessarily mean that you will lose everything, including your house and your car. These are protected to a certain degree in the bankruptcy process, and an attorney can help explain this in more detail as it may apply to your particular case. Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides even more protection to assets, as it is a reorganization of debt.

I'm Jose Bautista, owner of Infinity Express. I recommend Rafael Gomez. I had a case with him with a bunch of tickets from the state and he won. He dismissed most of my tickets and I paid little to no money.


Don't fall for bankruptcy myths.  Get the truth by contacting New Jersey Bankruptcy lawyer Rafael Gomez. He has helped debtors living in Bergen, Hudson and Passaic Counties in Northern New Jersey for many years.
