Miami Florida Bankruptcy Blog

According to a story today in the Miami Herald Florida’s jobless rate has hit 11 percent! For the full article got to http://www.miamiherald.com/459/story/1285918.html 

That’s the highest since October 1975, and represents just over one million Floridians out of work. In Miami-Dade County the jobless rate was actually higher. The Jobless rate in Miami-Dade County has reached 11.3 percent!

What this means is there are a lot of families right now struggling to make ends meet. Some of these families may no longer be able to pay all of their bills. Many may not know what to do. In situations such as this Bankruptcy may offer struggling families a way to stabilize their financial situation.

I just finished reading a story on ABC News that a Florida woman is filing suit against her mortgage company claiming that the relentless harassing creditor calls directly led to her husband’s death.  He died from a heart attack, which his widow claims was caused by the repeated harassing phone calls from their mortgage company. You can read the story in its entirety by clicking on the following link:

Let’s be clear,  this is an extreme case. The repeated, harassing and relentless phone calls from the mortgage company  may or may not be the actual cause of  this man’s death. I wanted to share this story  to get a specific point across:

You do not have to live with harassing creditor calls, threats of lawsuits or other extremely hostile methods of debt collection.

You have the legal right under federal law to stop the harassing creditor calls immediately, by filing for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

If you haven’t scheduled a Free Consultation with us, I would urge you to do so right now! Take advantage of the opportunity to learn as much as you can from us, at no cost, and see exactly how Bankruptcy may be able to help you.
