If you’re overwhelmed by debt, constant collection calls, and the fear of losing everything, know that you’re not alone—and you do have options. For many New Jersey residents, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can offer the fresh financial start they desperately need.
At Simon Law Group, we help clients turn the page on financial distress and regain peace of mind. Here’s how Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help you reduce stress, stop the chaos, and move forward with your life.
What Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as a “liquidation bankruptcy.” It allows individuals to discharge most unsecured debts—like credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans—without needing to repay them. In many cases, people can keep essential assets like their home, car, and retirement accounts.
Signs You Might Be Ready for Chapter 7
-
You’re falling behind on bills with no way to catch up
-
You’re using credit cards to pay for necessities
-
Collection agencies won’t stop calling
-
You’re facing wage garnishment or lawsuits
-
You feel paralyzed by financial anxiety
If any of this sounds familiar, Chapter 7 could be the relief you need.
How Filing for Chapter 7 Can Reduce Stress
1. Immediate Protection Through the “Automatic Stay”
Once you file for Chapter 7, creditors must immediately stop collection efforts. This means no more harassing calls, wage garnishments, or lawsuits.
2. Discharge of Most Debts
Most unsecured debts are wiped clean, giving you a chance to start over without the heavy weight of past due balances holding you down.
3. Keep What Matters
Contrary to popular belief, many people who file for Chapter 7 don’t lose everything. New Jersey bankruptcy exemptions allow you to keep essential items, like your home (within equity limits), vehicle, clothing, and household goods.
4. Fast Process, Long-Term Relief
Chapter 7 cases typically last only 3–6 months. In less than a year, you could be free from debt and rebuilding your credit.
5. Mental and Emotional Relief
Debt affects more than your finances—it affects your health, relationships, and quality of life. Chapter 7 can provide the emotional breathing room needed to focus on what matters most: your family, your future, and your well-being.
Life After Bankruptcy: A Fresh Start
Filing bankruptcy isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. Many clients at Simon Law Group go on to:
-
Rebuild their credit within 12–18 months

Purchase a home or car within a few years
-
Regain control of their budget and savings
-
Finally sleep through the night, free of financial anxiety
