Bankrupcty Lawyer in San Jose
What Are My Alternatives to Bankruptcy?
If you are not sure that bankruptcy is right for you, we suggest that you
contact Arnold Law Group to discuss your case. We can provide you with information about the available
options that you may have.
Bankruptcy may be the best and most appropriate route you can choose to
resolve your financial issue. Before filing for a
Chapter 7 or
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, however, you should find out more about the bankruptcy alternatives
offered to debtors.
Alternatives to bankruptcy include:
Home Loan Modifications
If you are faced with foreclosure proceedings, you may be able to modify
your mortgage payments. Home loan modification is a process in which the
terms of a mortgage are modified from the original terms of the contract
that were agreed upon by the lender and borrower.
Credit Counseling Programs
Credit counseling programs are for individuals who are struggling to pay
their debts or have other financial questions. They offer financial counseling
and other money management services, but these financial counselors are
not attorneys. If you need legal representation, retain assistance from
a knowledgeable San Jose bankruptcy attorney.
Credit Card Modifications of the Interest Rate and / or Principal Balance
In some cases, you can modify your credit card's interest rate or
principal balance. Modification is accomplished through negotiation. Our
firm can handle the negotiations to help you pay less on your account balance.
Voluntary Repossession of Your Residence
You may want to consider a voluntary house repossession if you are unable
to afford your mortgage payments.
Short Sale of Your Residence
If you are having financial troubles associated with your home, you may
choose a short sale of your residence. A short sale occurs when you sell
your property for less than the amount due on the mortgage. We can help
provide you with a certified Realtor.
