Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

*Notice: We are a debt relief agency.We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

Most people fear the word "Bankruptcy". They fear one or more of the following:

"I won't be able to rebuild my credit for 7 - 10 years if I file bankruptcy."

This is not the case, the majority of clients will receive credit card offers to help
re-establish good creditor ratings a few months after the Bankruptcy is fully
discharged.

"It will take me months to declare Bankruptcy and I will still have to deal with
all those creditor calls."

Some bankruptcy firms are like "factories" they have so much volume business
that your case falls in line. It may cost you more and take over 6 six months for
your case to be filed.
At the Law Office of Robert J. Chio we have an average of a 2 to 3 months filing
window. The time is determined by how fast you supply the information need to complete the case filing.

What people fail to recognize is that the ability to have a FRESH START by declaring Bankruptcy was
a process enabled by the Federal Government. The Bankruptcy code makes it possible for people to
get out from under overwhelming dept either by reorganizing or eliminating debt.

Each individual has separate financial issues. Here at the Law Office of Robert J. Chio, we
take a deep look at your income and debt to help you determine the best method of relieving
the burden of debt.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is the most common type of Bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 allows you to
eliminate a unsecured debt, medical bills, deficiency on repossessed automobiles and more.

Creditor Settlement is another alternative method of relieving your debt. If Bankruptcy is
not the method you prefer to use, having Robert Chio negotiate settlements amounts between
30 -75 %* less than your current balance is quick and manageable alternative. Please note that creditor settements may result in a 1099 IRS being issued for the amount of the written off balance. Consult your tax representative regarding any possible tax conseqences. Unlike dept consolidation companies our firm is able to quickly and effectively negotiate with creditors and reduce your balances. (Call our office today (630) 325 -3711 to find out how we can help).

*Settlement amounts are not guaranteed.
