Bountiful bankruptcy questions
Is Bountiful too far from your Sandy office?
No. Meetings of creditors in Utah are held by video, and most of the paperwork happens by phone, email and secure upload. You may never need to make the drive.
Will my employer find out if I file bankruptcy?
Employers are not routinely notified. If your wages are being garnished, we contact the creditor and, if needed, your payroll department so the garnishment stops. In some Chapter 13 cases, plan payments are taken from your paycheck.
Can bankruptcy stop a car repossession?
Yes. Once your case is filed, the lender cannot repossess the vehicle without the court's permission. Chapter 13 can also let you catch up on missed payments over time.
