- Are you seeking advice on filing for bankruptcy?
- Do you understand the process of mandatory credit counseling?
- Do you need help in starting the process of credit counseling?
Part of the post-bankruptcy process is learning how to handle your finances. At the law offices of John A. McLaughlin Jr., P.C. in Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado, we recognize the legal requirement of credit counseling. We also see the benefit of it for our clients as well.
Convenient Credit Counseling
When bankruptcy laws changed in October of 2005, credit counseling became a requirement to legally discharge or reorganize debts. It addresses the need for those filing bankruptcy to understand other options besides bankruptcy exist. The bankruptcy court wants you to be aware that in a small percentage of cases credit counseling may provide the help you need.
While mandatory, we consider this one of the easier steps to take in the entire bankruptcy process. You have the option of credit counseling in person, over the phone or via the Internet. The work involved for you is minimal.
The Credit Counseling Process
Don't take this step yet. At the law offices of John A. McLaughlin Jr., P.C., we will provide you with the vital information on when and how to take your mandatory credit counseling and not run afoul of some tricky procedural requirements. You will receive a third-party perspective on your income and expenses. These credit professionals are counselors, not sales persons. They do not judge, they simply explain, advise, and answer questions.
