Many of our clients fear that they will lose a great deal by filing. Our Michigan bankruptcy lawyers work to reassure them that such a legal action will actually help them retain all of their personal belongings including their house, car and all household goods. In fact, it is our Michigan bankruptcy lawyers primary goal is ensure that all of their belongings are protected.

For example, if you owe more on your car than the car is worth, the bankruptcy court will not sell your car, because after sale there would be no money left over to make a distribution to your creditors. The same goes for your home and personal property. Even if your property is worth more than what is owed on it, usually we can use the state bankruptcy exemptions to protect these items. Michigan bankruptcy lawyers can assist you in all your legal needs.

You may be more at risk of losing property if you don't file for bankruptcy, as creditors can sue you and attach your bank accounts, garnish your wages and attach and seize your property. As a result, you may miss rent, mortgage or car payments, making it difficult to provide even your most basic necessities.

The only parties that receive notice are your creditors, the court and the IRS.

Generally, taking action will have no effect whatsoever on your taxes. Your employer will not be notified unless your employer is also a creditor. Granted, your case will appear in public records, so anyone who wants to find out could determine that you had filed. Generally, however, only you, your creditors and the IRS will know about your decision. Michigan bankruptcy lawyers from Legal helpers can assist you in this tough time.

If you are presently renting a home or apartment, usually your present landlord will renew your lease without running an updated credit report, and will have no knowledge that you even filed. If you are applying for a new lease, there could be some slight difficulties that can easily be overcome. We have found that larger leasing companies usually have stricter policies regarding leasing to applicants with blemished credit.

Remember that it is the blemished credit report, not necessarily the action itself that is reflecting poorly on your application. Also, with no outstanding debt, you may appear to be a better risk than other applicants who have outstanding debt and blemished credit reports. We find that a good faith gesture, such as offering an extra month security deposit, may be enough for a potential landlord to overcome his or her concerns about your blemished credit.
