Bankruptcy is a scary word. The process can be demanding and emotionally draining, not to mention an overwhelming, confusing burden to navigate.

However, for some, bankruptcy is a chance to start fresh. With experienced attorney Michele Wilson Jones at your side, the legal burden of bankruptcy is in good hands while you focus on moving on.

How does bankruptcy work?

The two types of bankruptcy are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, and both prevent creditors from collecting debts you owe them. Other than this shared provision, the two types of bankruptcy differ immensely.

If your household earns less than the Kentucky median income, you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy includes the following provisions:

If your household earns more than the Kentucky median income, you can file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Your debts will be consolidated and some will be canceled. You’ll need to pay off the consolidated balance over three to five years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be better for homeowners or debtors who need to protect assets that, under Chapter 7, could be sold to pay for debts.

Do I Have to Be Broke to File for Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy isn’t about having zero dollars in your bank account. It’s about having debts that the money in your bank account just can’t cover. You shouldn’t have to worry that bankruptcy signals that you’re broke – it can happen to anyone.

The Pros and Cons of Filing for Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy stabilizes your financial situation. With a debt repayment plan in place, your assets – such as your home, your car, and other life essentials – can sometimes remain yours. You’ll get a chance to start over after a harrowing buildup of overdue loans, payments, and more.

Of course, bankruptcy doesn’t mean a completely clean start. Your credit report will display a Chapter 7 bankruptcy for 10 years and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy for seven years. Since Kentucky employers may request credit scores before they hire you, bankruptcy may affect your future work prospects.

Another potential pitfall of bankruptcy is how it affects others in your life. Though bankruptcy protects you as an individual, any co-signers on your debts remain vulnerable to creditors.

Ordered chicken tikka masala, naan, chicken biryani, samosas, pakoras..Everything was exceptional.The chicken tikka had tender white meat well cooked in, what I’m assuming is, a Tandoor oven. The meat just peels off. Not too hard, not too soft. On one occasion the meat was hard, but that was the exception. The gravy is tangy and perfect. In some places, you just taste butter. Naan is also good when dipped in sauce. Regarding the naan, there is an after taste of Indian dough, and I wish it was softer- but then maybe it’s because I ordered plain naan instead of what some places call butter naan. Samosas are awesome, and pakoras aren’t dry-which is a step up from other places. Biryani was also good, I just wish it was more soaked in sauce like the pakora, instead of being dry. Food is, overall and to be specific: amazing. I wish their location had more room to eat-in, with a buffet on weekends. But again, food was amazing.
