The math for a Maywood 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 Maywood household at the city's median income, $300 is about 6% 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 Maywood filers choose Chapter 7
Only 62.9% of Maywood adults are in the labor force, so many households stretch one or two paychecks a long way. If a Maywood family pays $300 a month on cards, that is $3,600 a year, and the balance may barely move. Debt settlement can leave lawsuits open in the Norwalk Courthouse. A consolidation loan may cost more in interest over time. Chapter 7 can wipe out most of that debt in about four months for an attorney fee from $1,200 plus the court fee.
