Are Your Financial Goals Out of Reach?

Struggling with debt and tired of owing? Bankruptcy might be the BEST option for you to get on financial track!

Are Your Financial Goals Out of Reach?

Do you have financial goals? Do you want to own a car? Own a house? Be able to save for retirement? If you owe a substantial amount of debt – these goals can be out of reach. No one plans on becoming inundated with debt – but sometimes life happens and you simply get in over your head.

Not being prepared for the UNEXPECTED can cause debt to snowball and savings to dwindle. Sometimes it’s bad luck, sometimes its job loss, currently it’s a pandemic causing havoc on everyone’s wallets. So what do you do if you owe money and have financial goals?

Cut Expenses

Financial planners may say to cut out the unnecessary expenses and live within a budget. That’s great advice – living within a budget AFTER you get out of debt can help you stay on financial track to meet your goals.

Cutting expenses may not help if you are ALREADY overburdened with debt.  If you have $20,000 balance with 18% interest – paying the minimum balance will take over SIXTEEN years to pay off the balance. Think about the past 16 years – were your finances stable? Did you work the same job with the same expenses with no unexpected expenses? Probably not.

Debt consolidation

Debt consolidation or debt settlement is a common choice for people with debt. Companies advertise cutting minimum payments and interest rates with the promise of LOWERING the monthly bill.

The reality is debt consolidation or settlement does NOT work for people with a large amount of debt and low amount of savings. You could pay the consolidator thousands for the “service” and be in debt even longer.  Your credit score is STILL negatively affected. There’s NO protection for you if the bill collector rejects the proposal and decides to sue any way.

Bankruptcy 

With bankruptcy you are using FEDERAL LAW to get control of your finances. Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates your unsecured debt and a Chapter 13 is a court supervised repayment (or consolidation) of your debt. You are using federal laws put in place to help YOU.

Think about your financial goals. After filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you have a fresh start. If you create a budget and stick to it, you could have a savings account. So when the unexpected happens, you do not have to rely on credit to make it. If bad luck happens – you do not need to use the credit card to buy groceries. SAVING money is a very powerful thing.

Chapter 13 is ONE monthly payment to cover your bills. Unlike consolidation – a Chapter 13 is structured into a 3-5 year repayment plan. It will NOT go longer than that. If the unexpected happens during your Chapter 13 – that’s why you have Geraci Law on your side. We’re a phone call away to adjust your plan if necessary.

If you want to talk about your financial goals and your debt – Geraci Law is here. We offer free consultations with our experienced attorneys to give you options for your debt.

Credit Concern? Call Geraci Law!

Banks are cutting access to credit. Are you overwhelmed with bills? Are you worried about debt? Call Geraci Law.

Credit Concern? Call Geraci Law!

Have you noticed your available credit is cut? Did you see an account get closed? Credit card companies are cutting available lines of credit. Over 30 million people applied for unemployment as a result of the pandemic.

With the number of people unemployed, banks consider credit too big of a risk. So if you are late with payments, if you haven’t used the card – odds are the credit line will be cut.

If you are RELYING on credit to get you to the next paycheck, it’s not a great long term plan anyhow. Instead consider bankruptcy.

The cash you are spending on minimum payments that is NOT paying off the balances with interest could be the money you have as a safe hold. Create a budget and stick to it but you can’t create a budget until you deal with the past due balances.

Filing for bankruptcy is a FASTER way to handle your debt. Credit counseling, making minimum payments will cost you THOUSANDS in interest and it could take YEARS to pay off the balances. Your credit score still takes a hit and typically will take LONGER to get on the path to rebuilding.

You do NOT need credit cards. Realigning your budget and using a debit card could save you thousands. If you want a credit card, then pay it off every month. Only use the credit card for what you can pay off so you can AVOID interest. That timely payment every month can help you reestablish a payment history.

So if your credit line is cut, if your cards are maxed out, if you are simply overwhelmed by the debt – call us. It’s a free conversation that can change your life for the better.

Huffington Post Writer Explains Chapter 13

Recent post in the Huffington Post discusses writer’s bankruptcy experience at age 26. Geraci Law is here to help you at age 26 to 76!

Huffington Post Writer Explains Chapter 13

In a recent post in the Huffington Post, John-Michael Jalonen writes about his experience filing for bankruptcy at 26 years old. He like many recent college grads, found himself with more debt than his income and student loan obligations could afford.

Filing for bankruptcy changes many people’s lives for the better. It gives the opportunity to reestablish yourself financially. Geraci Law’s motto is “Changing Your Life For the Better.” We stand by that.

Read Jalonen’s article here.  An excerpt from the piece,

“Admitting you’re in debt, much less deep debt, is incredibly embarrassing and makes you feel like a failure. However, it’s something that so many people are faced with, and going through the bankruptcy process can actually be a blessing.”

If you have questions about debt, finances or just want to talk about budgeting – give us a call. Experience counselors are waiting to help you!
