Your Credit Card Debt May Be Discharged
Credit card debt is unsecured debt, meaning that there is no tangible collateral to secure the amount owed. There is nothing for the creditor to repossess. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, unsecured debt is typically discharged (eliminated). If you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may or may not make payments on your credit card debt for three to five years as part of your repayment plan. We will review your individual finances and discuss which chapter of bankruptcy is best for you.
Credit card debt is usually dischargeable under Chapter 7 unless the following have occurred:
- You obtained the credit card by fraud
- You took a large cash advance on the card within 90 days of filing for bankruptcy
- You made a significant increase in purchases on the card shortly before filing
Our lawyer will review your credit card statements and other finances before advising you on a debt relief strategy.
