The math for a Compton household
Here is an example with made-up round numbers. Say you owe $15,000 on credit cards at 24% interest. That is about $300 a month in interest before you pay down a single dollar. For a Compton household at the city's median income, $300 is about 5% of a month's income before taxes, going to interest alone.
A simple Chapter 7 with us costs about $1,538 in attorney and court fees. In this example, that is about five months of interest payments, and the balance is gone at the end of the case.
Chapter 7 compared with settlement and consolidation
- Debt settlement can take years, charges fees, and forgiven debt may be reported to the IRS as income. Creditors can still sue while you save.
- A consolidation loan needs good credit and still has to be paid back in full, with interest.
- Chapter 7 stops collection the day it is filed and usually ends with a discharge in about four months.
Chapter 7 is not right for everyone. Read when you should not file bankruptcy before you decide.
Why Compton filers choose Chapter 7
When a card company sues a Compton resident, a collection case under $35,000 usually goes to the Norwalk Courthouse, not the courthouse in Compton. Debt settlement does not stop those lawsuits, and a judgment can lead to garnishment. A consolidation loan just moves the debt to a new lender. Chapter 7 stops the lawsuit and can wipe out most card and medical debt in about four months. For an attorney fee from $1,200 plus the court fee, it can cost less than years of payments.
