Dealing With Back Rent
For many South Carolina residents that come to Reed Law Firm, P.A., seeking bankruptcy protection, rent for their home has become a key part of a much larger financial challenge. In addition to collection actions from aggressive collectors, they are facing eviction or moving out before proceedings start. Bankruptcy can also stop eviction proceedings.
What you do not know about bankruptcy can not only prevent you from seeking the help you need, but also harm an already damaged financial picture. Call our Columbia-based firm at 803-726-4888 or our Florence law office at 843-679-0077 today.
Preventing Eviction Through Debt Reorganization
In the process of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, unpaid rent is treated similarly to past due mortgage payments. Reorganizing this debt into a more affordable plan buys you time and allows you to catch up on missed payments. Keeping a roof over your head during such uncertain times is paramount to the attorneys at Reed Law Firm, P.A.
