This is called a “discharge” of debts. It is designed to give you a fresh financial start - Stop foreclosure on your house and give you the opportunity to catch up on missed payments. However, bankruptcy does not automatically eliminate mortgages and other liens on your property without payment. - Prevent repossession of a car or other property, or force the creditor to return property even after it has been repossessed. - Restore or prevent termination of utility service. - Stop wage garnishment, debt collection harassment, and similar creditor actions to collect a debt. - Allow you to challenge the claims of creditors who have committed fraud or who are otherwise trying to collect more than you really owe.   ### We offer services in the following cities and towns: Danbury Bethel Bridgeport Brookfield Darien Easton Fairfield Greenwich Hartford Monroe New Britain New Canaan New Fairfield New Haven Newtown Norwalk Redding Ridgefield Shelton Sherman Stamford Stratford Trumbull Weston Westport Waterbury #### What property do I include on my petition?
