Bankruptcy Myths

The Meyers Law Firm: New York City Bankruptcy Attorneys for Three Generations

Are you having problems making ends meet, for yourself and your family?

Are you out of a job, overwhelmed with debt and considering a personal bankruptcy filing, but can't seem to pull the trigger because of false information circulated by the consumer credit industry?

We can put your mind at rest, your nose to the grindstone and your goals within reach. We are The Meyers Law Firm, providing bankruptcy legal services for New Yorkers for three generations.

Our lawyers debunk the myths, explode the rumors and counter the half-truths about Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy — sources of confusion that have arisen since changes in bankruptcy law, and that discourage many deserving individuals and families from filing.

At our family-owned, Manhattan-based law offices, we thoughtfully counsel individuals and families who are understandably concerned about the effects that a bankruptcy could have on a credit report, a job prospect, the status of a mortgage and even how your friends view you. We attack the stigma attached to bankruptcy and fund you with facts, not hearsay, about debt relief.

Contact us and start getting the peace of mind you need about filing for consumer bankruptcy. These laws are "on the books" for one reason only — to help people just like you. Call 212-252-1212 to arrange your free initial consultation with The Meyers Law Firm.

Lawyers Who Lead With Bankruptcy Facts — Not Bankruptcy Myths

Among the more durable myths still circulating about bankruptcy are:

  • The new bankruptcy laws have made it difficult to eliminate your debt.
  • Elderly citizens filing for bankruptcy risk losing their homes by filing.
  • You won't get a bank loan or credit card for 10 years after filing bankruptcy.
  • Bankruptcy cannot help you with student loans or tax debt.
  • Only deadbeats file for bankruptcy.
  • You cannot stop a foreclosure even if you file for bankruptcy.
  • These days only corporations can file for bankruptcy.
  • If you didn't file for bankruptcy before October of 2005, when bankruptcy statutes were changed, it's too late.
  • Medical debt and credit card bills cannot be discharged under the new law.
  • You will have to relinquish your personal vehicles when filing for bankruptcy.

As a family law firm that views its clients as family too, we would never stand between you and a positive outcome, or allow a total falsehood to interfere with the debt relief you need. We are dedicated to your success. You get sound advice and solid support from The Meyers Law Firm from start to finish of the bankruptcy legal process. We work hard to earn your trust.
