Lewis and Jurnovoy Highlight the Growing Need for Debt Relief

Fort Walton Beach, FLA. – The pandemic forced many people and businesses to take out loans or use credit cards to pay their bills to survive over the last year. Despite the fact that many people are starting to once again begin working, many are still struggling under the weight of massive amounts of debt that piled up for them in the last year. Unfortunately, as post-pandemic life becomes closer, people are searching for debt relief as a result of this cycle. 

An extremely indebted person will often overlook basic needs, such as forgoing necessary medicine and eating less food in an attempt to pay the debt. Thankfully, it does not have to be this way. The bankruptcy law was established to allow people to pay for the necessities of life. Bankruptcy laws are extremely powerful tools that can be used to help people rebuild their lives post-pandemic.

"There is no reason to feel bad about bankruptcy," stated bankruptcy attorney, Steven Jurnovoy. "If you have heart problems, you visit the heart doctor. If you have financial problems, you visit a bankruptcy attorney,” he continued. 

Debtors in Florida earning less than $50,000 per year are entitled to use their income to pay for necessities rather than pay creditor bills. When a person declares bankruptcy, they enact this law, putting them in power over their finances. It is best to tackle financial issues head-on and not cling to financial life vests like stimulus payments and mortgage forbearance that are soon to expire. Many people will find themselves searching for debt relief long after the pandemic is over if they continue to rely on these temporary financial reliefs.
