How Does COVID-19 Change Bankruptcy?
The pandemic has changed almost everything about our lives, however, it has not slowed the ability of those in need of financial help to be able to file for bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings are still happening in full-force, although they are no longer being held in-person. If you are struggling to pay your existing bills, you can still pursue a better payment plan and work to eliminate your debt despite current chaos. Since these proceedings are now done through calls and video conferences, you can still practice safe social distancing and maintain both your health and finances.
Is Now a Good Time to File?
The coronavirus outbreak can make it difficult to pay your bills. Families across the country are grappling with difficult financial decisions due to layoffs, reduction in resources, and quarantine orders. It can be easy to simply get caught up in the unfolding pandemic and let growing debts mount. We understand the challenges that you are facing! While you may have no control over your situation or the amount of money that you currently make, you can take action to start lowering your debt load now. While other people may find themselves getting deeper in debt as they struggle to keep up with existing bills, by filing for bankruptcy you can take control and have a payment plan in place that is both manageable and moves your family toward financial freedom at the time you need it most – now.
When Should You File for Bankruptcy?
If you are facing financial struggles and wondering when you should file for bankruptcy, the answer is most definitely sooner rather than later! While the world as we know it will return, there are likely to be uncertain times in the future. By getting your finances in order through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can endure any difficult times knowing that you and your family are secure.
