Real Relief for Sailors and Their Families
- Stop creditor calls to your command. The moment you file, creditors must stop contacting you — and your command.
- End allotment & DFAS deductions. Voluntary allotments to lenders can be stopped and the debt wiped out.
- Halt NEX/AAFES and Navy Federal collections. Even creditors with special powers can be dealt with in bankruptcy.
- Protect your security clearance. Resolving debt removes the “financial considerations” concern. Learn more.
- Stop garnishment, repossession & foreclosure. The automatic stay puts an immediate stop to collection actions.
- Protect a reenlistment bonus and your property. With the right planning, in most cases you keep everything you own.
File Without Leaving Home
You do not have to be in Virginia — or even stateside — to file. We use power-of-attorney filing, e-signatures, and phone/video 341 meetings so deployment or a PCS never stops your case. See our Military Bankruptcy page for details.
