Can Geraci Law save my house?

We’ve helped thousands with a Chapter 13 interest free repayment plan that spreads your mortgage arrears over a 3-5 year plan. At the end of the bankruptcy, you’ll discharge any unpaid debt like credit cards, medical and be current with your mortgage.

“What about “loan modification”?   Don’t fall for scams.  Don’t pay any money for help.  Deal direct with your lender.  When you do, expect

o   they won’t reduce the amount you owe and rarely the interest

o   your term will go from 15 to 30 years, you will never own the place

o   it is usually a scam so you don’t pay while applying, and then they foreclosure

What do I do?  If you are behind in your mortgage, call Geraci Law to

o   eliminate or consolidate OTHER debt so you can pay your mortgage

o   stop foreclosure and pay past due amounts over 3 years or more

Loan modification scams:   just search on “Legal Helpers Debt Resolution” or “Morgan Drexen”.  Don’t be scammed! Call Geraci Law. Never send money to an internet scheme.

How does Chapter 13 help with mortgage foreclosure or past due mortgage payments?

  1. It forces your mortgage company to accept your payments going forward
  2. If forces your mortgage company to accept payments on arrears
  3. It consolidates your vehicles and debts so your mortgage gets paid first

How does Chapter 7 help with mortgage foreclosure?  It could eliminate your other debt to free up your budget to pay the mortgage.

Anything…But Bankruptcy?

Why do people waste all their money on phony debt consolidation frauds, give their pensions to pay day loans, and walk away from their houses, instead of getting bankruptcy protection?

Why don’t more people file bankruptcy?  Because they are either ill-informed, or ashamed to be in need of help? NOOOO….. They think the CURE is worse than the ILLNESS!

FMegaphone Hand, business concept with text Get Out of Debt, vector illustrationor the same reasons, some people actually kill their spouses instead of getting a divorce, or suffer and die of cancer instead of going to the doctor.  They drive their car with the red engine light on until it blows the engine.  Many people will do the opposite of what is good for them.

President William McKinley – The Cosigner Who Filed

William McKinley was elected President in 1897.  Filing for bankruptcy in 1893, while he was governor of Ohio, didn’t stop him at all! He ran for president 4 years after filing, and won! And it William McKinleyshouldn’t stop you!

McKinley co-signed on a $130,000 loan for a friend to keep a business open. The friend’s business closed and McKinley was left with the debt. McKinley filed bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Act of 1867. Back then,   bankruptcy gave you protection from garnishment while paid back creditors, much like Chapter 13 today. 

Voters did not care about McKinley’s financial problems. He was reelected governor and then elected twice as President of the United States. McKinley sought help for his financial problems.

Presidential HatHave you cosigned for a friend or family member?  Then they defaulted, and the creditor is coming after you? Were you left holding the bag? Co-signing debt makes you as responsible as the other person. If they can’t pay – you owe!

Can I get rid of student loans in bankruptcy?

Clients come to Geraci Law for multiple reasons.   They want ANSWERS!   They want answers they can rely on.  Geraci Law has over 60 attorneys who understand every aspect of student loans in bankruptcy and how to discharge student loans OUTSIDE of bankruptcy!

How to get rid of student loans OUTSIDE of bankruptcy:  If you are on Social Security Disability, apply for an “administrative discharge”. You will have to show thesGSL Imagee things:

  1. You must have a federally insured student loan. This doesn’t work on private loans or tuition.
  2. You must be on Social Security Disability: permanently disabled for any kind of work
  3. You can’t have any other assets, such as a pension or 401K.

So, you don’t need our help if you are totally disabled, and Social Security says so, and you have no assets.

GSLIt’s very hard to get a discharge of student loans in either Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy.  Almost impossible.  But here’s what Geraci Law did for this client who came in with overwhelming medical bills and student loans.  We filed Chapter 7 to discharge her medical debt and a repossession, so she can now pay her student loans!  She is working, she can’t discharge them, but she got rid of all her debt BUT the student loans. She is making good progress on them now that she has no other debt.  Geraci Law gets a 5 star review!

Why is bankruptcy like baseball?

Geraci law knows how you feel when you’re in debt. Studies have shown most folks who would rather talk about their toilet habits or sex life than how much money or debt they have. Does this sound like you? You are 60 years old and live with a lot of economic uncertainty. You and your husband fight about money, often regret the purchases you make, and save nothing for retirement? Worse yet you have little or no pension, and you’re worried about healthcare?Baseball

For sure, you don’t know anything about the law, and you know even less about bankruptcy law. Bankruptcy is the Great American Law. Bankruptcy and baseball both start with the letter B.

Bankruptcy is a lot older than baseball.  The first officially recorded baseball game in U.S. history took place on June 19, 1846, in Hoboken, New Jersey: the “New York Nine” defeated the Knickerbockers, 23–1, in four innings

So you probably know a lot more about baseball than you know about bankruptcy. Bankruptcy and baseball are both good things. Baseball allows you to forget your troubles for 9 innings, and root for your home team. Bankruptcy allows you to get out of debt and get a fresh start so you’re not paying off old debt with money you should be saving for your retirement.
