An all too common preliminary inquiry by a hypothetical debtor, and a reply.
Hypo Debtor E-mail Address none@none.com State California ZIP 92100 Phone 877-663-3287 How would you like to be contacted? E-mail Brief description of your legal issue As of today one of my creditors have garnished my paycheck. I have other creditors calling and trying to something from me. Im struggling but was able to make some of my payments. After taking off about 25% of my paycheck i dont think ill be able to make it. What are my options?
Thank you for your inquiry. Well, of course, we wish you had asked a little sooner, but there are still options. You might be able to claim an exemption or low income under CA state law. But, that’s a longer process with unknown outcome. You probably will have to file a Ch. 13 repayment plan, as that’s the ‘cheapest’ way to go, as it relates to up front costs. Ch. 7 ‘straight’ bankruptcy might be preferred in the big picture, but it’s more expensive up front. With a wage garnishment already in place, the up front fees can be difficult, without a friend or family members assistance. In any event, you should come in and consult with us right away, to get started on reviewing these options, balancing out the
pros and cons, and deciding how best to proceed. We have 3 offices in San Diego County, Vista, Bonita and Downtown. You can see a map of our locations, along with other information at our web page, www.debtclinic.com. Just click on the ‘Locations’ link.
Please call us at 1-877-NO-DEBTS to set up that appointment. I will also ask our staff to call you to help coordinate. I am also attaching a copy of our initial worksheet. If you
can fill it out as best you can, this will save a bit of time, and help us in the review of your options. I am also attaching a recent newspaper article where we were quoted extensively on the new laws. We look forward to assisting you.
