If you are considering bankruptcy, the last thing you want to worry about is one of your creditors filing a bankruptcy lawsuit against you. An experienced Utah bankruptcy attorney can see potential problems before they become lawsuits and help you work with the court and your creditors to avoid the added hassle and expense of a lawsuit.
Most of the time, filing bankruptcy will stop or prevent a creditor from bringing a lawsuit against you to collect on their debt. But sometimes even after you file for bankruptcy, a creditor can file a lawsuit to ask the court to take their debt out of discharge or to continue with a foreclosure or repossession.
If a creditor has already filed a lawsuit against you, having an experienced attorney at your side can help you know the right action to take. There are many options available to people facing lawsuits that let them settle the debt in a way that is beneficial to both the debtor and the creditor.
An experienced attorney can help you understand your options and decide what is the best course of action in your particular situation. You may be able to settle the debt before it goes to court, establish a payment plan, or adjust the terms of the debt.
