Chapter 13 works well for people behind on a home, car, or other secured loans or who have an income too high to qualify for Chapter 7. Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on missed home or auto payments over time (typically 36 to 60 months). With a few exceptions, any remaining unsecured debt is discharged at the end of the payment period.

Negotiating with creditors is possible in some cases if you can pay a portion of your debt. Often, an attorney can help you reach reasonable lump-sum settlements or more affordable payment arrangements with your creditors.

Debt defense or "debtor defense" means defending a collection suit in court. Often, debtors have defenses to creditor lawsuits, such as the Pennsylvania Statue of Limitations, lack of standing, etc. In many cases, creditors cannot prove that they own debts and lose those types of lawsuits. For these reasons, defending a collections case can lead to a win or a reasonable settlement. We handle both consumer debt defense and business debt defense. Moreover, you may not even need to appear in court.

We advise clients on the legal methods available to protect their homes, accounts, and businesses from creditors, judgment creditors, and debt collectors.
Mortgage foreclosure defense includes answering the foreclosure complaint and raising any defenses you might have to a foreclosure action. It may even involve filing a lawsuit against the lender, if appropriate. By raising legitimate challenges to the foreclosure, you may encourage a lender to enter into a reasonable settlement.
