I've spoken with people from every corner of our community — from long-time residents to new families, from local business owners to those commuting into Atlanta — and I know how quickly life can take an unexpected turn.

Maybe it was a job loss, an illness, a divorce, or simply the rising cost of living that made it harder to keep up. Whatever the reason, it doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're human, and you deserve a chance to rebuild.

Types of Bankruptcy

When you file for bankruptcy, you're taking control of your finances. In Conyers, where many households now struggle to keep up with rising costs and unexpected emergencies, bankruptcy can offer some breathing room.

When you file for bankruptcy, you have two major options:

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy: This type of bankruptcy is best for those whose income can't keep up with their debts. It will wipe out all non-exempt debt, but some of your assets will be seized to repay creditors. This is the quickest route to debt discharge.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy: With Chapter 13, you keep your assets in exchange for agreeing to a payment plan. This plan has you catching up on missed payments while also making current payments on your home and vehicles to avoid repossession or foreclosure.

How Bankruptcy Offers a Fresh Start

For Conyers residents, bankruptcy is a powerful legal tool that can help you get a handle on things. One of the best parts of any bankruptcy filing is the automatic stay that's issued as part of it. That automatic stay, combined with the debt discharge, can give you a fresh start in the following ways:

  • Debt collectors and creditors are no longer allowed to contact you.
  • All repossessions and foreclosures come to a stop.
  • Wage garnishments will end, giving you full access to your paycheck.
  • Debt discharge will happen soon after with Chapter 7.
  • At the end of your repayment plan, which is typically three to five years, all remaining debt on your Chapter 13 plan will be discharged.
