The benefits of filing for bankruptcy can be immediate, with long-term debt relief for both you and your family.
Wondering what happens when you declare bankruptcy? It’s not the end of the road—it’s the beginning of taking control. Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to give you a fresh start, and it comes with powerful protections and advantages:
- Positive action & reduced stress: Knowing you’re finally doing something about overwhelming debt lifts a huge burden off your shoulders.
- Harassing phone calls stop: Debt collectors are legally prohibited from contacting you once your bankruptcy is filed.
- Wage garnishments end: If your wages are being garnished due to consumer debt, that will stop immediately—and you’ll receive your full paycheque again.
- No more interest on debts: Interest charges on your existing debts are frozen the moment your bankruptcy is filed.
- Consumer debts are eliminated: Unsecured debts are discharged, meaning you’re no longer responsible for paying them back.
- You can start rebuilding your credit: In as little as 9 months after discharge, you can begin the process of restoring your credit and financial future.
The bankruptcy benefits can be immediate with long term implications to you and your family.
