SCARS Interview With Kathryn Hathaway, Bankruptcy Attorney - Discussing Bankruptcy Options For Victims Of Financial Fraud!

This SCARS Interview is hosted by SCARS Directors Dr. Tim McGuinness and Debby Montgomery Johnson.

Our thanks to Kathryn Hathaway for her valuable insights and for helping to support scam victims in their time of legal & financial need.

♦ PLEASE NOTE MOST OF THIS APPLIES TO VICTIMS IN THE UNITED STATES - HOWEVER, MOST COUNTRIES HAVE SIMILAR OPTIONS - WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEAK WITH A BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY ABOUT THE OPTIONS THAT APPLY TO YOUR SPECIFIC SITUATION IN YOUR COUNTRY. ♦

After a relationship scam, victims are left financially devastated and left looking for solutions. For many, using bankruptcy laws is a perfect way of managing their debt and saving their homes, cars, and major assets.

♠ Benefits of Bankruptcy

If you are a victim and are struggling with personal debt and are unsure if you have any options remaining, bankruptcy might be the right move for you.

Bankruptcy is no longer the stigmatized scarlet letter that it used to be - it is a practical way of addressing significant debt and restoring control over your life.

Each year, over 750,000 individuals drowning in debt across the United States file for bankruptcy, seeking and obtaining financial relief. Between 2006 and 2017, nearly 13 million Americans filed nonbusiness bankruptcies. 8.6 million people filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and around 4.1 million filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

While bankruptcy is, of course, a serious matter, there are numerous advantages to bankruptcy that allow individuals the chance to start again and find financial freedom.

♠♣ ADVANTAGES TO BANKRUPTCY FOR CRIME VICTIMS WITH DEBT

♥ Regain Control In Your Life

When you file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, the bankruptcy court will issue an automatic stay that puts a stop to any and all collection efforts. This includes mortgage foreclosure, auto repossession, and other property repossession.

You can take the additional time and relief from debt collection to get current with your mortgage, utility payments, and other remaining debts. You can also fold your car payments into your repayment plan, and you can protect other property from repossession. You get the second chance you need to make your payments current and completely eliminate covered debts.

THIS CAN REMOVE A GIGANTIC PSYCHOLOGICAL PRESSURE ON A FRAUD VICTIM WHILE THEY ARE TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE CRIME!

♥ Clear Your Debt

Chapter 7 bankruptcy completely wipes clean and discharges eligible unsecured debts. You will find yourself either without debt entirely or with a much more manageable set of loans left and significantly more disposable income to catch up on any overdue payments. Likewise, at the end of your Chapter 13 repayment period, any remaining debt that is covered will be discharged.

Stop Wage Garnishment and Other Aggressive Collection Efforts
When you file for bankruptcy, collection efforts must cease. Eligible debt will be discharged (Chapter 7) or reorganized and restructured and included in a repayment plan (Chapter 11 and Chapter 13). Wage garnishments and bank account levies will be stopped, and aggressive debt collectors will no longer be able to call or send you collection letters. Covered debt collectors will stop their activities and give you the peace of mind you deserve.

♥ Get Educated

Debtors who go through personal bankruptcy are required to go through credit counseling as part of the process. You will learn more about your finances, budgeting and investing, and how to build and retain strong credit in the future.

this education can be very therapeutic in helping victims restor trust in themselves and re-establishing their financial futures.

♥ Fix Your Credit

Filing for bankruptcy will negatively affect your credit for a period if you have good credit. However, many debtors who turn to bankruptcy have already been languishing with low credit scores for some time. Filing for bankruptcy starts you on the path of rebuilding your credit.

You can start improving your credit from day one after obtaining your discharge or starting your repayment period. Some creditors find their score actually improves after filing, as they benefit from a vastly better debt-to-income ratio. After seven years or so, the bankruptcy disappears from your credit report entirely.
