Personal Injury & Bankruptcy Lawyer in Hawley, PA

Credit Score

Many people ask how their credit scores will be affected when declaring bankruptcy. Your credit score may indeed suffer at first, depending on your situation, but it generally rebounds after going through bankruptcy. JPP Law helps you every step of the way and works with your creditors to get you the best possible repayment plan.

Listing of Debts

A JPP bankruptcy lawyer near Hawley, PA, can help with any questions you have, and one question we get asked frequently is about the types of debts the bankruptcy court considers during proceedings. There are two types of debts associated with bankruptcy: secured debt and unsecured debt. Secured debts are listed as collateral, which often means that the court will consider this their main priority. Unsecured debt cannot be used as collateral and may include medical bills and credit card debt. Our goal is to make this information as easy as possible to understand.

Discharging of Debts

Finally, some debts may be legally discharged in bankruptcy. Once this happens, your creditors can no longer attempt to collect money in any way. Another way of saying this is that you become free of those liabilities. Which debts can be discharged depends on your specific situation. We will look at your case to see if we can help by discharging some of your debts.
