Emergency Foreclosure and Garnishment Assistance by an Experienced Reseda Bankruptcy Attorney

Emergency legal assistance for debt pressures may be available to qualified debtors who face urgencies such as foreclosure or garnishment.

In these types of special cases a qualified debtor, who meets all necessary criteria for emergency attention, may be able to get more expeditious assistance in addressing a debt problem. Many debtors, however, may not have a real emergency, but know that they cannot take the financial pressure any longer. They realize that they may not need emergency attention, but want to start the ball rolling to end the financial pressures.

Whether a debtor has a true emergency or just needs to start to address getting debt relief through bankruptcy, it is important to move forward to address the financial problems. Debt difficulties may not only be emotionally draining, but can be the cause of other legal problems. A debt problem that goes unattended can cause a financial downward spiral.

A debtor experiencing a downward financial spiral can start to address debt problems by exploring bankruptcy alternatives. To be able to get bankruptcy relief a debtor must be determined to be eligible for such relief under applicable federal bankruptcy law.

When Is the Best Time to File Bankruptcy?

It is important to think about when you file bankruptcy. Certain times are better for filing bankruptcy than others. Think about the following things when planning to file bankruptcy:

• Do not wait until the last minute if you might be facing garnishment, repossession, eviction, or foreclosure. It takes some time to fill out your bankruptcy forms. You must have enough time to receive your pre-bankruptcy filing course certificate, otherwise we cannot file your petition. Do not wait until your situation is an emergency.
• If you are not facing garnishment, repossession, eviction, or foreclosure, you may want to wait to file bankruptcy. If no one in your household has employment income, and you are not at risk of losing any assets, you might not need to file bankruptcy at this point. Remember, you can only file bankruptcy once every eight years. If there is a chance your financial situation might get worse, it is wise to wait and file bankruptcy then.
• If you have been unemployed but you expect to get a job soon, you may want to file bankruptcy now. Creditors can’t garnish your income when you are only receiving public benefits. Once you start earning money, you might be garnished. Also, a good time to get a fresh start is when your financial situation is about to improve. This is when to wipe the slate clean and start over.
• You should not file bankruptcy yet if you expect more large debts to come along. You can only file bankruptcy once every eight years. If you know that you will probably have more debts happening soon, you should wait to file bankruptcy. That way all those debts will be included. For example, You may be pregnant, if you file now, you will not be able to include hospital bills in your bankruptcy.  Or maybe you know you have to have surgery in the next year. If you file bankruptcy now, you will not be able to include the hospital bill for the surgery. You will have to pay it.

The deadline to file your federal return is April 18th 2012. North Carolina returns are due by April 15th 2012, unless you have filed an extension to file your return.

Penalties and Interest

Penalties and interest are applied to returns that are filed late. The longer you wait the more interest will have accrued on your account.

Failure to file returns

If you are required to file a return for that year and do not file one, IRS will file a substitute return on your behalf. This substitute return will not include any of the credits that you are entitled to, or exemptions, and your deductions could be far less than you are entitled to. The end result is that you are taxed at the maximum rate possible. You can file a return to remedy this issue. You have up to ten (10) years after the substitute return is filed by IRS to file a return. You only have three (3) years after a return is due to file a return or an amendment and receive a refund if one is due. Just because the deadline has passed that does not mean you can not correct the the return.

When I conduct my California bankruptcy consultations, I try to tell my clients that although a bankruptcy can be reported at the three credit bureaus for up to 10 years, it does not have to affect you for the full 10 years.  And to be honest, by the time most clients come to meet with me their credit scores are already below the 600′s. Yes, bankruptcy does remain on your credit report for up to 10 years, however immediately after filing for bankruptcy you have provided yourself with a fresh start. The seemingly almost never ending snowball effect of bad credit decisions or the inability to pay your debt obligations due to unforeseen circumstances is more devastating to your credit than a onetime bankruptcy.

So what happens with your credit score after you file the bankruptcy? (keep in mind that credit scoring is an anomaly and 9th wonder of world) Generally, ones credit rating after one year in a  post-bankruptcy status is substantial. One of the factors in determining your credit worthiness is the debt-to-income ration.  Once you receive your bankruptcy discharge, you have cleared yourself of the high debt-to-income ratio.

alot of my clients tell me that after they receive their bankruptcy discharge, they have begun to receive credit offers in the mail. The reason behind that is since bankruptcy laws prevent you from re-filing bankruptcy for a particular amount of years, the creditors are safe to assume that you will pay your obligations. The filing of bankruptcy is an option to help you start over and get back  above water. It is not an overnight process but within 12-18 months of your discharge, you will see a dramatic improvement in your ability to rebuild your credit.

What are my options if I have no equit

Due to the current state of of our economy, a lot of homeowners have no equity in their home.  What is equity, equity is owing less on the home that the home is worth.  If you owe more than your house is worth, than you have no equity in your home., if you have no equity in your home, you have three options: (1)  Continue to live in and pay for the house and pray that the home value
increases, (2) return the home to the bank or (3) sell the home.    If you decide to exercise option 2 and give the house to the bank, this may be done, with or with out a bankruptcy.  If you do not file a bankruptcy then there may be a deficiency owed for the difference between the foreclosure sale price and the amount remaining on your loan.  The bank may attempt to collect the difference from your personally or may file a 1098/1099 with the IRS, and treat the deficiency amount as earned income.  You would then be
personally liable for the difference as if it were earned income from that tax year.  A bankruptcy or reorganization may save you from the deficiency judgment and the 1099 taxable gain.  Call your California bankruptcy lawyer at (818) 714-2200 for more information.
