For tens of millions of people across the country, the COVID19 pandemic has shut down workplaces, closed small businesses, and caused chaos with finances and bills. Many people find themselves looking at stark choices between keeping a roof overhead and food on the table, or even how to afford their medications when their health insurance stopped when their job did. It’s easy to panic, especially here in Florida where our unemployment system fell down on the job, the stimulus checks may not have arrived yet, and small businesses were muscled out of SBA loans by companies with access to capital.
It’s a lot to deal with, but panic can make you do some things that end up biting you later on, such as taking high interest consolidation loans, HELOC, or even tapping your retirement funds for bill money. If you are unemployed and can’t pay bills, there are some steps that you should take right now.
Of course, when you are unemployed and can’t pay bills, ten talking points might be a mountain that you can’t get across. No money means no money, and not all the renegotiating in the world is going to help. That’s when it’s time to take a serious look at filing for bankruptcy. At Van Horn Law Group, we offer a no-money-down option because we know how much better a bankruptcy can make an untenable financial situation. Whether you are an individual or a business, bankruptcy often makes a great deal of sense for the following reasons.
Bankruptcy is nothing to enter into lightly, it’s a complex legal filing that takes the expertise of an experienced bankruptcy attorney to get the best result.
