Milford, MA Bankruptcy Attorney
If you've gotten in over your head with credit card debt, you may be experiencing some of the worst business practices in America today – the actions of collection agencies:
- Daily collection calls, pressuring you to pay more than you can afford to pay
- Threats to take your property or liens against your property
- Telling your boss or coworkers that you owe money
- Threats to garnish your wages – or actual garnishment of wages
There are laws against abusive debt collection practices – most notably, the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act – but there are still plenty of third-party collection agencies that are violating them. We have helped people in Uxbridge, Medway and all the towns in Metrowest.
You don't have to live with debt hanging over your head.
Filing for bankruptcy will have an IMMEDIATE, positive impact on your life because it will stop debt collectors in their tracks.
- No more harassing phone calls
- No more collection letters
- No more wage garnishment, liens or seizure of assets

Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Two Ways to Deal with Credit Card Debt
Chapter 7 : If your income is modest and you have few assets but a large amount of credit card debt, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will give you a FRESH START by discharging your debt. You must meet income guidelines. We'll review your financial situation and tell you if you qualify.
Chapter 13 : If you have a steady income, or you have some assets that you do not want to sell, then Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the way to go. In Chapter 13, we work with the bankruptcy trustee to create a repayment plan with your creditors. That plan runs for no more than 5 years. Any debt remaining after that point is discharged.
Bankruptcy and Buying a Home
May people who contact our law firm are worried about how a bankruptcy filing will affect their ability to buy a home in the future. The truth is, declaring bankruptcy now may be the best think you can do to qualify for a home mortgage three years from now.
Once your bankruptcy is completed, your income to debt ratio will look much better. And if you are doing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your steady monthly payments will begin to rebuild your credit rating.
