What Debts Can Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Wipe Out?
Chapter 7 can eliminate many kinds of debt, including:
💳 Credit card balances.
📞 Collection accounts.
🏥 Medical and hospital bills.
🏚️ Businesses that have closed or have pending lawsuits.
📃 Broken lease or unpaid rent.
⚖️ Lawsuits and judgments from creditors.
🚗 Repossessed vehicles debt (that remains after a repossession).
🧾 Even certain IRS tax debts.
And that’s not all—Chapter 7 can help with many other financial problems, depending on your situation.
How Chapter 7 Protects You.
📜 When you file Chapter 7, the Court immediately issues an injunction (Court order) called an automatic stay.
This powerful Order stops creditors in their tracks:
❌ No more harassing phone calls.
❌ No more wage garnishments.
❌ No more collection lawsuits.
For many people, this instant relief is the most meaningful benefit of Bankruptcy compared to other debt solutions.
Is Chapter 7 the Right Choice for You?
Chapter 7 isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” answer. Some people qualify easily, while others may not. And for certain people, it can even cause more problems than it solves. That’s why at A Fresh Start Law, we don’t push you into one option.
🔍 We’ll carefully review your entire financial picture.
📊 Compare Chapter 7 with alternatives (like debt settlement or Chapter 13).
💬 Explain the benefits and risks of each option.
✅ Help you choose and represent you in whatever choice works best for you.

🤔 Chapter 7 Bankruptcy – Frequently Asked Questions.
🏠 Will I lose my home?
Not necessarily! In Nevada, many people can keep their homes if they are current on mortgage payments and their equity is within the state’s exemption limits. Attorney Dorothy will carefully review your situation to protect your property.
🚗 What about my car?
Most people filing Chapter 7 in Nevada typically retain their vehicle, because they need it for work or family responsibilities. Whether you own it outright or still have a car loan, there are often ways to keep your ride.
💳 How will Bankruptcy affect my credit?
Your credit usually takes a short-term hit, but if you’re already behind on payments, your credit is likely already suffering. Many people actually rebuild their credit faster after filing, because they finally get out from under unmanageable debt. Rebuilding your credit score is a time-consuming process, and at A Fresh Start Law, we show you how to get the best results once your Bankruptcy case is completed.
🕒 How long does Chapter 7 take?
Most Chapter 7 cases in Las Vegas are completed within 3 to 6 months. Compared to other debt solutions, it’s one of the quickest ways to put your debt behind you and receive a fresh start.
👨👩👧 Can creditors still harass me after I file for Bankruptcy?
No! As soon as your case is filed, the automatic stay goes into effect. The Automatic Stay is a Court Order that stops phone calls, lawsuits, garnishments, and other collection efforts. If creditors continue to contact you for payment, Dorothy will make sure they’re held accountable. Of course, if you want to keep your car or your home, you must continue making your monthly payments. And keep paying for your utilities, insurance premiums, and any subscriptions you want to keep using because all debt you make after filing Bankruptcy is not “included” in your case.
