Reclaim Your Financial Stability with Bankruptcy Relief

How Bankruptcy Can Help You Reclaim Financial Stability

When bills pile up and there’s no clear path forward, it’s easy to feel stuck. Bankruptcy is often seen as a last resort, but in reality, it can be the first step toward long-term stability and peace of mind.

At Arellano Law Firm PC, we’ve helped individuals across Hillsboro and the Portland Metro Area use bankruptcy as a tool, not a failure, to take control of their financial future.

What Bankruptcy Really Means

Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows people struggling with debt to either:

  • Eliminate unsecured debt they can’t afford (Chapter 7), or
  • Restructure debt into manageable payments (Chapter 13)

Once you file, an automatic stay takes effect, meaning creditors must immediately stop:

  • Collection calls
  • Foreclosure proceedings
  • Wage garnishments
  • Lawsuits and judgments

How Bankruptcy Creates Stability

  1. Stops the Bleeding
     Bankruptcy gives you room to breathe by halting aggressive collection efforts.

  2. Protects Your Essentials
     Many people keep their home, car, and personal items through exemptions.

  3. Gives You a Plan
     Bankruptcy isn’t just about eliminating debt—it’s about giving you a legal path to rebuild.

  4. Reduces Emotional Stress
     Constant financial pressure can take a toll on your mental and physical health. Relief brings clarity and peace.

  5. Rebuilds Credit Over Time
     While bankruptcy does impact your credit, many people begin to rebuild quickly, sometimes improving their score faster than continuing to struggle with unpaid debt.

Is Bankruptcy Right for You?

You may benefit from filing if you:

  • Are using credit cards to pay for necessities

  • Have fallen behind on mortgage, rent, or utilities

  • Have been sued or had wages garnished

  • Are facing repossession or foreclosure

  • Can no longer keep up with minimum payments
