Chesterfield  Bankruptcy

Chesterfield County is located just south of Richmond in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Like Richmond it is was once a part of Henrico County until it separated in 1749. It’s history is fraught with annexation issues as late as the 1970’s. In spite of those challenges, Chesterfield has grown exponentially over the years as not only a commuter town for Richmond, but also as a hub for transportation for the region. Today, residents of Chesterfield work in industries such as Amazon, HCA Virginia Health System and UPS and DuPont to name a few. Henrico has a population of over 300,000 residents in over 127,000 households.  For many, financial hardships due to economic uncertainty and COVID19 have been felt. Financial hardships and bankruptcy affect nearly everyone in Virginia, even our military.

Bankruptcy is a legal process that releases people from debts they are no longer able to pay. For Chesterfield citizens and all US consumers there are two types of bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 eliminates (or discharges) most debts without further payment. Some debts such as recent taxes and child support are not dischargeable. Chapter 13 is a restructuring of debt and consolidates all of your debt into a court approved “plan”. Most Chesterfield consumers who do not own their home or have valuable property file Chapter 7 while homeowners typically file Chapter 13 which allows them to keep their homes while under the court appointed plan.

While it is possible to conduct these legal processes on your own, bankruptcy can be a complicated process and challenging for most people. Individuals in Chesterfield that are comfortable with legal jargon, forms and court processes are likely candidates for self filing. However, It is better to work with someone to work on your behalf to insure your filing process is efficient and results in a successful discharge of your debt the first time.
