San Diego & Orange County Bankruptcy Attorneys

When you file for bankruptcy in San Diego or Orange County, California, you are immediately granted an automatic stay. This puts an end to:

The automatic stay allows you to focus on rebuilding your financial footing in relative peace.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy vs Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in San Diego & Orange County, California

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or liquidation bankruptcy, is a way to get a fresh financial start. With this plan, you will be able to keep most of your personal belongings, while your unsecured debt is discharged. As long as you are current on the payments, you should be able to keep your home and vehicles if that is what you wish to do.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a debt reorganization plan. With this bankruptcy plan, all your unsecured debts are combined into one monthly payment that you make over 3-5 years. After that time, your remaining consumer debts are eliminated. You may even be able to roll past due mortgage and vehicle payments into the repayment amount, freeing up much-needed funds to make future payments.

Bankruptcy and Your Credit Score

Whether you are in San Diego or Orange County, California, bankruptcy will affect your credit score, but if you are already having trouble making payments, your credit score has most likely already taken a hit. Fortunately, as soon as one year after filing bankruptcy, you may be able to obtain credit, at which time you can begin working to build your score. Often times people end up with better credit after a bankruptcy filing than they had before.
