A young man wanting to marry his girlfriend came into the Geraci Law Northside office and met with Attorney Laura Caputo. His girlfriend would not marry him until his debt was under control. He was overwhelmed by medical bills, past-due utilities and behind on his car payment.
Originally, he wanted a Chapter 13 repayment plan to stop the repossession of his vehicle. He financed an older model in need of repairs. He fell behind on payments after the birth of his child and could not get current.
Attorney Caputo reviewed the man’s budget and Chapter 13 options. He would pay almost double the car’s value. He decided Chapter 7 debt elimination could give him a fresh start and make his girlfriend happy.
An experienced bankruptcy attorney like Illinois Geraci Law Attorney Caputo provides long-term solutions to problems. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy would stop the repossession but he would be paying thousands on an underwater vehicle. Instead, he is now debt free and able to plan his wedding.
