Questions
What types of bankruptcy can I file in Utah?
Utah residents can file Chapter 7 (liquidation) or Chapter 13 (repayment plan) bankruptcy. We help determine which option best suits your financial situation during a free consultation.
How does bankruptcy affect my credit score?
Bankruptcy initially impacts credit scores but often improves them long-term by eliminating debt. We provide post-bankruptcy credit rebuilding strategies to help restore financial health within 2-4 years.
Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure on my home?
Yes, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates an automatic stay to halt foreclosure. We help clients catch up on mortgage payments through repayment plans while retaining home equity.
What debts cannot be discharged in bankruptcy?
Non-dischargeable debts include child support, student loans, recent taxes, and debts from fraud. We provide detailed guidance on which obligations remain after bankruptcy proceedings.
How long does a bankruptcy case take?
Chapter 7 cases typically complete in 4 months, while Chapter 13 requires 3-5 years of payments. We streamline the process with clear timelines and proactive court communication.
