AVOIDING FORECLOSURE AND
OTHER SCAMS |
On October 17, 2005, the new Bankruptcy Code came into effect.
One of its provisions is that all debtors receive, within 180 days prior to filing for bankruptcy protection, and from an approved nonprofit budget and credit counseling agency, "an individual or group briefing that outlines the opportunities for available credit counseling."
In addition, in order to obtain a final discharge, each debtor must participate in a
personal financial management course after filing his/her petition.
(Even if the Code did not require this
counseling, we have always recommended it.
You should obtain a 3rd party's evaluation of your situation before deciding on
filing for bankruptcy protection.)

and their fees as they are known to us at the time of this writing.

| The trauma of being
hopelessly
in debt can be frightening. We at Denbigh Law Center have had many
years
of experience in helping clients through these troubling times. Our
attorneys
will discuss both bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy options with you and,
if
necessary, assist you in the procedures for court protection under
bankruptcy
law. We also make referrals to nonprofit agencies which can
provide
financial counseling. (See our Bankruptcy
Philosophy discussion.)
The time to talk with an attorney about financial matters such as these is before they reach the crisis stage. We charge only $45 for the initial consultation. If you want
useful advice
on your various options, please call us. You will find us very easy to
talk to.
