frequently asked questions about debt reliefWhat is Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a declaration that a person or organization is unable to pay creditors a debt.  In addition, a debtor is a person that owes money (a borrower).  When a debtor files bankruptcy in Nevada, he or she does so in order to get protection from creditors.  Also, a discharge allows all or part of their debts to be forgiven.

Additionally, bankruptcy protection is intended to help debtors get back on their feet by eliminating or reorganizing debt.  Giving a fresh financial start allows a person to be able to have the means to make monthly payments since they are rid of debt.  Also, it doesn’t matter to the bankruptcy court why or how a person got into debt and needs to declare bankruptcy.  That is to say, bankruptcy laws have been established to protect the rights of lenders and debtors.

What is Secured Debt?  What is Unsecured Debt?

Even though both kinds of debt are dischargeable in bankruptcy, it does matter if you want to keep the house or car (the secured debt collateral).
