Using Bankruptcy to Escape Student Loans

Posted on August 11, 2017 by Camron Hoorfar

STUDENT LOANSS

It is very difficult to have bankruptcy erase your student loan debt.  In order to satisfy the undue hardship portion of the test in order to discharge student loan debt, you will need to show that you are unable to meet your minimally necessary living expenses in order for you to survive.  Bankruptcy courts have ruled that a mere unpleasantness associated with repaying the student loan debt is not sufficient.

If you are thinking of filing for bankruptcy, contact our law office at 816-524-4949 or visit our website at www.Hoorfarlaw.com.

Scam Artists Posing as Our Law Office

Posted on August 10, 2017 by Camron Hoorfar

Our office received a complaint today alleging that we sent out a letter claiming that we would sue that person if they did not pay a debt. Our office does not sue anyone for not paying their credit card debt and we would never call people and threaten to sue them if they did not pay their creditors. If you happen to receive a letter from First Debt Resolution or Great Western Debt Relief stating that we work with them and that our office will sue you if you do not pay, please call or email our office immediately. These two companies do not have any affiliation with our law office.

Repossessing Your Dog

puppues

Missouri courts will not honor contracts with pet adoption shelters that transfer ownership of a pet to you but then cite specific conditions which would cause the animal shelter to take the pet back.  Once the pet has been transferred to you and is yours to own, the animal shelter may not repossess the pet.

If you are facing a contract dispute and would like to speak with an attorney, contact our law office at 816-524-4949 or visit our website at www.Hoorfarlaw.com.
