    Frequently Asked Questions About Bankruptcy In Tallahassee, FL

    What debts can bankruptcy erase?

    Most unsecured debts—including credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans—can be discharged. However, student loans, alimony, and child support usually cannot be eliminated.

    Can bankruptcy stop foreclosure or wage garnishment?

    Yes. Filing immediately activates an automatic stay that halts foreclosure proceedings, lawsuits, garnishments, and most other collection actions.

    How long does the process take?

    Chapter 7 cases often conclude within four to six months. Chapter 13 requires a repayment plan lasting three to five years before completion.

    Do I need a minimum amount of debt to qualify?

    No minimum amount of debt is required to file. The key factor is whether your debt is unmanageable under your current financial circumstances.
