BANKRUPTCY & DEBT RELIEF
PALATINE · ZOOM & TELEPHONE CONSULTATIONS
Understand the next step after a change in income.
Retirement, reduced hours, or a household change can make old payment commitments difficult. Palatine residents can discuss income sources and essential spending in the first consultation. Different income and account types may raise different questions.
Gather benefit letters, pension information, pay statements, and bank records. List medical expenses and recurring household costs. Identify any money already withheld or account restrictions.
Before choosing a chapter, identify what you need the discussion to resolve. Are you trying to understand a notice, keep up with a secured payment, or evaluate whether your current debt payments are sustainable? Bring those goals as well as the balances.
Chapter 7 guidance explains the questions surrounding discharge and property. Chapter 13 guidance introduces the repayment structure. Use the side-by-side comparison as a starting point, then discuss the facts rather than trying to self-select a chapter.
