Coping with the Financial Effects of Job Loss

The American economy is in the midst of one of the most significant slumps it has encountered since the Great Depression, and while a lot of attention is paid to the broader economic picture, these struggles are being played out in Arizona homes each day as families deal with unexpected job losses. Most families rely on two streams of income to make ends meet and any interruption has the potential to interfere with their ability to pay for even basic living expenses, let alone to make headway against substantial debts.

If you have recently lost your job and are falling further and further behind in payments to creditors, service providers or others, it is important that you act sooner rather than later to regain control of the situation. Contact the Arizona bankruptcy lawyers of the Harmon Law Office, L.L.C., at 480-829-0494 to speak with a skilled and experienced attorney about the possible advantages of a bankruptcy filing during this difficult time.

The Importance of Being Proactive

Losing one’s job can trigger an avalanche of negative consequences. It can adversely affect a person’s physical and emotional health, interpersonal relationships, and financial stability. Understandably, it can be difficult to find hope in such a bleak situation, but letting the matter continue to worsen by failing to act will only make a recovery more challenging. By choosing to file for bankruptcy now, the following may be accomplished:

• Avoiding the indignity of aggressive collection efforts
• Preventing wage garnishments or the entry of legal judgments against you
• Limiting the amount of debt incurred due to interest, fees, and penalties
• Offering you the opportunity to renegotiate your debt repayment agreements
• Preventing foreclosure proceedings
