Whether you have debts from mortgages, cars, credit cards, medical bills, or any number of other sources, you have the obligation to repay those debts. If you\u2019re unable to meet debt payments each month, there are several methods to resolve debts, but the most effective for those struggling with severe debt is through the process of bankruptcy. Behm Law Group, Ltd. offers the expert advice and protection you need to receive debt relief in New Ulm, MN by filing for bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The three primary methods individual consumers and businesses can receive debt relief are debt settlement, discharge, or dismissal. These processes happen very differently and will affect your legal standing differently in both the short and long term.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Discharge of Debt <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Debt discharges are only possible through the process of bankruptcy. If you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, many of your debts will be discharged during the asset liquidation process. This means your debts will be dissolved in exchange for the sale of your non-exempt property. The value of your non-exempt assets sold will be paid to your creditors. You may also receive a discharge in a Chapter 13 case for some unsecured debts (you will be required to repay 0% to 100% of those debts in your Chapter 13 repayment plan). Discharge through bankruptcy is permanent and government sanctioned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Debt Settlement <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some debtors choose to find debt relief outside of bankruptcy through debt settlement. To settle a debt, you must negotiate that process with your creditor without the protection of a court process. This can be tricky and will reflect negatively on your financial records. Additionally, you may still have to pay taxes on the original amount of a reduced or settled debt, and any late payments or owed taxes on this debt will also become a detriment to your credit.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Debt Dismissal <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is a more unusual form of debt relief that only occurs if you can prove that your creditors are harassing you, abusing their authority (for example, charging extremely high late payments), your identity was stolen to gain the debt, your information on debt paperwork is incorrect, the items or services you took the debt on for were never received, or if your creditors can\u2019t prove you owe the debt. If you suspect you may be able to prove these things, debt dismissal may be a viable option for debt relief, but in most cases, debt settlement or bankruptcy are more realistic choices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Debt settlement has its place, but filing for bankruptcy is often the best long-term, concrete solution for debt relief.
