CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY
Consumer bankruptcy was introduced at the beginning of 2016. The position of a debtor-consumer significantly changed. It gives a chance to get rid of bad debts (whole debt sustainability) to people who are unable to repay them it.
Our Law Firm in Katowice provides comprehensive legal assistance for individuals who face the problem of excessive debt. For those who do not engage in business activity or ceased trading, we offer professional support in bankruptcy proceedings. We help to go through the entire process of bankruptcy from filing for bankruptcy by liquidation proceedings, to determining a final repayment plan. We operate in Katowice and throughout Silesia.
When there is no money to satisfy creditors
Consumer bankruptcy is used when the current income of a debtor and its assets are not sufficient to cover all the outstanding liabilities, nor to satisfy all creditors.
In such situations, a court will decide what amount of money a debtor has to pay off, for how long and indicate under what conditions this will happen (a debt repayment plan). The maximum period during which a debtor is obliged to repay liabilities is 36 months.
To take an advantage of the possibility to declare consumer insolvency, the consumer’s debts cannot be caused by a wilful misconduct of the debtor or his gross negligence.
