With the help of Behm Law Group Ltd., you can file a successful case and receive debt relief in Mankato, MN, from your medical bills and other debts.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While filing for bankruptcy may seem drastic, it is the most effective and direct way of resolving your medical expenses in addition to many other debts.

Chapter 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a liquidation type of bankruptcy, Chapter 7<\/a> discharges debts in exchange for the liquidation of your non-exempt assets. In most cases, the bankruptcy exemptions that are available to you are more than sufficient to protect all of your property from liquidation.\u00a0 Unsecured debts such as credit card debts, and of course, medical bills, are discharged in full. Chapter 7 is the quickest and most expeditious type of bankruptcy to treat unsecured debts because the process usually takes only three to four months to complete.\u00a0 However, you must pass the Means Test<\/a> in order to prove you qualify for chapter 7 debt relief by showing that your household income is not greater than the state median income for a household of your size.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chapter 13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chapter 13 is a debt reorganization form of bankruptcy. Also referred to as wage-earner bankruptcy, Chapter 13 is an option available to those with an incomes too high to file for Chapter 7 or for those who want to protect their non-exempt assets from possible liquidation.\u00a0 Chapter 13 reorganizes your debts into a manageable three- to five-year repayment plan. This means that you will pay your unsecured debts what you can afford to pay for a limited time with no interest, no late fees and no penalties. \u00a0At the end of your three- to five- year plan, whatever amounts of your unsecured debts that remain are discharged.<\/p>\n
