Text of the page (random words):
specifically intended to weaken the protections involved and harass those borrowers that attempt to find solace in governmental safety nets wreaked havoc upon the last chance generations had depended upon after the new laws took effect borrowers must have their tax returns in order to even approach the bankruptcy courts and they will have to complete a credit counseling course from a governmentally approved debt management firm before filing the initial paperwork there are several such companies in arizona debtors within the state of arizona should consider themselves lucky compared to their countrymen who hail from less populated regions but the substantial costs are still far beyond what many of the most desperate borrowers who ve fallen to such straits would be able to pay these credit counseling firms of course require payment up front as you probably already know one of the greatest drawbacks from chapter 7 bankruptcy and perhaps along with the damage done to credit reports and fico scores the signal reason that more consumers do not attempt debt elimination is the likelihood that your assets which for the purposes of the internal revenue service could mean anything from your stock portfolio to your bed sheets will be seized by agents of the court for an eventual auction intended to partially remunerate past creditors whose loans have been discharged through bankruptcy depending upon the whim of the arbitrarily chosen court trustee families could lose nearly everything they own to be sold for pennies on the dollar in past years before the 2005 legislation altered the national bankruptcy code households filing for chapter 7 were made to list their personal property in terms of the value of the objects upon resale which for anyone who s ever held a garage sale is virtually nonexistent for most items now however the chapter 7 documents insist upon a description of all possessions that records their theoretical replacement value and replenishing a household in this fashion could cripple many families fortunately for borrowers who ve been living in arizona the state bankruptcy law is much more generous to those filing bankruptcy than what would be granted by the federal guidelines given the space this sort of cursory summary permits there s no way to list all of the potential exemptions allowed through arizona bankruptcy statutes but we d at least like to try to outline some idea of what borrowers may expect from the proceedings in terms of real property the homestead exemption covers any apartment or mobile home owned to the amount of a hundred thousand dollars and this also exempts any proceeds from the sale of same for either eighteen months after closing or until a new residence has been bought for those borrowers who do not own property security deposits are fully protected and prepaid rent would be let alone up to a thousand dollars or one and a half months value whichever is greater in terms of the homestead statute a husband and wife jointly declaring chapter 7 bankruptcy must share the same exemption but it s important to remember for personal property the husband and wife are allowed to double what s allowed by arizona law which can make a great difference in terms of protecting possessions from potential seizure again within the breadth of this article we cannot list every exemption but those filing in arizona should know that most of their household furniture should be protected each consumer successfully declaring chapter 7 bankruptcy and again double all of this for husbands and wives jointly filing may keep two beds and associated linens one dresser one bedroom table one living room chair four lamps one kitchen table one dining room table and four associated chairs one carpet one couch three end tables one television or stereo system one alarm clock one washer one dryer one vacuum cleaner one fridge and one oven these furnishings along with any family portraits or paintings photographs done by the individual declaring bankruptcy shall be protected through arizona statutes as long as the combined value does not exceed four thousand dollars or once more for couples eight thousand dollars as well each person filing bankruptcy in arizona may keep a hundred and fifty dollars in a single bank account as well as their sewing machine their typewriter their burial plot and a wheelchair or prosthesis the family bible will be safeguarded regardless of value and all other books are protected up to a total of two hundred and fifty dollars you may keep five hundred dollars worth of clothes wedding engagement rings valuing up to a thousand dollars and one watch less than one hundred dollars pets which for the purposes of bankruptcy include cows and poultry and horses are allowed up to a total value of five hundred dollars musical instruments are protected up until two hundred and fifty dollars and firearms rifle handguns etc up to five hundred dollars automobiles are protected up to a value of fifteen hundred dollars the rules are somewhat different for filers with medical disability and bicycles are protected regardless of value any arms or clothing or associated materials that arizona military personnel are obligated to maintain cannot be touched by bankruptcy court trustees in any fashion and the tools of trade for farmers seed machinery animals etcetera and teachers arguably everything aside from motor vehicles however necessary should be similarly excepted up until twenty five hundred dollars value any stores of fuel or food are exempt provided that they are not judged to last longer than six months for the households needs the guarded cash value of life insurance policies ranges between one to twenty thousand dollars depending upon the familial relations of the beneficiaries pension exemptions vary along with the debtors former careers with arizona public servants social workers firefighters policemen park rangers and other state employees granted the most lenience by far and the benefits from health insurance and fraternal societies remain property of the debtors regardless of amount at least three quarters of the wages earned in arizona but not yet paid to the newly bankrupt are protected but the actual sums that those declaring bankruptcy shall receive depends upon their household needs and potential income as determined by the judgment of the arizona state trustee this is once again only the briefest summation of the exemptions available under arizona law and for anyone seriously considering bankruptcy it s pretty much necessary these days to enlist the services of a bankruptcy attorney to aid the borrowers in not only the eventual court hearing but also the reams of paperwork now required as statutes change both from the federal government and from arizona state law the documents get ever more complex and the verbiage purposefully confusing frankly for ordinary consumers untrained in finance or even for lawyers who are not specifically experienced with the details of the arizona bankruptcy code it s more than difficult to accurately prepare the filing papers with any degree of certainty in terms of assets which as we have shown can be considered almost anything borrowers are almost sure to forget one item or misinterpret the meaning of what was asked and whether intentional or otherwise even the slightest lapse may result in your case being thrown out even days before discharge and after you have spent thousands of dollars which will never be returned or in the worst possible eventuality lead to charge of fraud punishable by imprisonment in terms of their debts borrowers are equally likely to miss one or two of their obligations when submitting their creditor matrix and while that shan t probably lead to time in an arizona jail debts that aren t submitted to the trustee will also not be discharged through bankruptcy and the creditors have all legal authority to file suits of their own for garnishment or seizure while it is still possible for arizona residents to attempt a bankruptcy debt liquidation on their own this is inevitably a false economy that flirts with grave danger on all fronts bankruptcy attorneys have become a necessary evil of the chapter 7 process and with our national financial system crumbling and more and more arizona workers laid off every week they re in short supply especially within our state of course never one to miss a chance to raise fees one consequence of the sudden demand for bankruptcy attorneys around arizona has been exponential jumps in lawyer fees for what should be for what more to the point the original legislators meant to be a remarkably simple process combined with the administrative costs due to the courts for attempting to declare bankruptcy and the fees for the essentially worthless credit counseling courses that borrowers are now forced to pass before they can even file paperwork many of the lower income debtors that would be best served and most likely to be deemed eligible for the chapter 7 program have absolutely no way to afford the procedure and if needs be repeated neither the attorneys nor the government shall work on credit when bankruptcy is involved much as they say it takes money to make money it apparently now takes money to lose money as well because of these costs as well as the aforementioned hardships built into the bankruptcy laws following the 2005 alterations of the national statutes many borrowers in arizona and elsewhere have started to investigate other alternatives for solutions to their mounting debt crisis many of these supposed debt relief solutions however have flaws nearly as dramatic as those affecting today s chapter 7 protection and arizona borrowers would be well advised to do their own research about any potential debt relief strategy no matter how convincing their promotional materials or company salesmen may be the consumer credit counseling approach has been largely discredited due to their own costs negligible effects and destructive impact upon fico scores plus the growing realization that the industry has long been supported by credit card companies eager to steer borrowers away from attempts toward bankruptcy protection debt consolidation based upon secured loans such as the refinancing of primary residences helped bring our economy to its current state and even if one could find a mortgage lender still open and available the real estate market has plummeted to such a degree especially in the arizona area that equity loans would no longer work while it surely makes sense to try and find an alternative to bankruptcy some debt relief methods may even be worse over the long run to be honest when speaking with debtors in arizona the only approach about which we have heard universally positive comments has been debt settlement relatively few of our correspondents have gone through debt settlement themselves of course it remains a fairly new industry and not accepting money from creditors debt settlement firms haven t nearly the money for advertising enjoyed by the consumer credit counseling giants in fact many of our correspondents in outlying regions of arizona were forced to seek help on line from one of the debt settlement internet sites because they couldn t find a settlement specialist working in their area turns out as long as they re certified by the national board and maintain a good and verifiable reputation there s not a great deal of difference to be found from quality companies whether or not you work with your debt settlement professional in person or over the phone and the arizona borrowers that we spoke with found success from both sorts of companies the thrust of debt settlement isn t that far removed from the consumer credit counseling approach trained debt analysts work out a household budget that would ensure continual payment of existing debts while requesting a waiver of past fees and lowered interest rates from representatives of the lenders but since they re not also paid by the lenders they ask for rather more essentially after binding together the various debts of an eligible borrower the program uses the threat of bankruptcy and promise of a sped up schedule of payments to negotiate a reduction sometimes as much as half of the original of the borrowers balances and interest rates because of the many variables surrounding each arizona consumer s specific debt ledger not all creditors are on board with the plan and viability income and past payment history will play a part in determining entrance to the settlement program we should not pretend that every problem debtor could avoid bankruptcy through the debt settlement program but it bears analysis for anyone that wishes to safeguard their possessions and maintain a credit rating the years after all debts have been erased personal bankruptcy protection still may be the only path toward financial freedom for some particularly desperate arizona borrowers but it s recently become a long and winding road with no clear end in sight for those debtors who are simply not qualified to attempt debt settlement or any other program bankruptcy protection yet means something in arizona and in some version it will always be around but there s no harm to examining the other avenues that have recently opened up posted by unknown at 1 06 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels bankruptcy
