$0 Down Bankruptcy Utah

Are you struggling with garnishments, creditor harassment, pending repossession or foreclosure and need immediate help? We can help you get immediate relief. We understand that most people who need to file bankruptcy don’t have the money to pay the attorney fees and court costs upfront. That’s why we offer our $0 Down Bankruptcy program. We understand that if you’re considering filing bankruptcy, you don’t have the ability to pay the attorney and court fees upfront. 

$0 Down Bankruptcy Program

Our competition doesn’t like our No Upfront bankruptcy program. We believe that honest, hard-working people deserve to have a viable way to file bankruptcy and get the protection that the US Constitution contemplates. That’s why we fought against our competition and the United State Trustee to allow us to offer low down bankruptcy and flexible payment plans to our clients. We spent two years fighting in court for the right to offer $0 Down Bankruptcy and affordable payment plans that don’t require you to pay all the costs and fees upfront.

How Does the Program Work?

If you qualify, and many people do, we will file an emergency chapter 7 bankruptcy case with no upfront attorney fees. You pay only the court filing fee and take the credit counseling course upfront. After the bankruptcy case has been filed–when creditors are required to stop collections, garnishments, and repossessions–we will set up flexible and affordable periodic payments to finish the bankruptcy case and pay the remaining attorney fees. We will work with you to find the right payment schedule–monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly.

Requirements For $0 Down Bankruptcy Program

To qualify for the $0 Down Promotional bankruptcy program you must meet the following criteria:

  1. You must be gainfully employed.
  2. You must pay the court filing fee upfront or within 5 days of your case being filed.
  3. You must make your first installment payment to us within 21 days of your case being filed.
  4. Your attorney fees must be paid within 12 months of your case being filed.

Which Chapter of Bankruptcy is Right for You?

Utah Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Utah Chapter 7 is bankruptcy is for people who have lower income and less property. It is frequently called a liquidation. Your property is designated either “exempt” property, which is protected, or non-exempt, which is unprotected. Any unprotected property may be sold or liquidated (hence the term liquidation) on behalf of your creditors. Most people that file for chapter 7 don’t lose any property. Find out how our experienced bankruptcy attorney can help you protect your property in bankruptcy.

Utah Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Utah Chapter 13 is a debt consolidation and repayment plan based on your disposable income. Your disposable income is determined by calculating your monthly income and subtracting your monthly necessary expenses. The repayment plan will normally last between 36 and 60 months. Chapter 13 has additional tools to restructure or rehabilitate secured debts like your mortgage, if you are past due, recover a repossessed auto, restructure interest rates, and in some cases reduce the principal balance.

Areas We Serve

Weekes Law bankruptcy attorneys serve all of the State of Utah.

Utah is divided into four regions for creditor meetings: Ogden (Northern), Salt Lake City (Central), Provo (South Central), and St. George (Southern). Our bankruptcy attorneys regularly appear in and are familiar with the trustees in each district. The district is determined by the home address provided to the Bankruptcy Court at the time the bankruptcy case is filed.

OGDEN – The Ogden region covers Weber, Morgan, Box Elder, Rich, Cache, and parts of Davis Counties. So residents from Logan to Layton will all be assigned to Ogden. Sometimes residents of Bountiful will be assigned to Ogden and other times we’ve seen them assigned to Salt Lake. When the meetings are conducted in person, the meetings are held at the James V. Hansen Federal Building.

SALT LAKE CITY – The Salt Lake City region includes Salt Lake, Tooele, Summit and sometimes some residents in Davis Counties. When the meetings are conducted in person, the meetings are held at the office building located at 405 South Main Street, Suite 250 in Salt Lake City.

We frequent get asked whether bankruptcy is dishonest or unethical. In our experience the overwhelming majority of people who file bankrutpcy are honest, hard-working and upstanding people. Most people file bankruptcy as a result of unexpected medical bills, the loss of a job, divorce, or some other unexpected and frequently uncontrollable event. The framers of the United States Constitution specifically provided for a uniform system of bankruptcy to deal with this issue. Bankruptcy is both honest and ethical. To read more about why Bankruptcy was part of our Federal Constitution, read our blog article Does Filing For Bankruptcy Mean You’re Dishonest or Unethical?

Yes! We have litigated and won in Bankruptcy Court against our competition and the United States Trustee to allow us to offer flexible payment plans to our clients. We understand that most people needing to file for bankruptcy don’t have the money to pay the amount of money that is typically charged upfront. 

No other firm can make that claim. 

For a limited time…you can file fast with a low down or even $200 Down Bankruptcy! We setup easy monthly payments after the case is filed. Get started today!
