The math for a Culver City, California 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 Culver City, California household at the city's median income, $300 is about 3% 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 companies collect fees while you save up lump sums, and creditors are free to sue in the meantime. Forgiven balances may also count as income for taxes. A consolidation loan only moves the debt to a new lender, and it takes good credit to get one. Chapter 7 is different: collection stops on the day of filing, and most cases end in about four months.

Chapter 7 is not right for everyone. Read when you should not file bankruptcy before you decide.

Why Culver City, California filers choose Chapter 7

For a Culver City household, the value of Chapter 7 is mostly time. Years of minimum payments can cost far more than the original balance. A consolidation loan only helps if you can pay it off, and it often needs good credit you may no longer have. Settlement programs can leave you open to lawsuits while they bargain. Whether you work on a studio lot or at a shop near the Culver Hotel, the math is the same: a flat fee from $1,200 plus the court fee, against years of payments.
