Credit card payments of medical bills
If you live in the Southern District of Ohio,you may well be in trouble because the bank-ruptcy judges in this district are averse todischarge large credit card debts. I wouldsuggest a Chapter 13 in which your credit cardand medical bills will be unsecured debts andyou can pay less than 100% of what you owe andstill get a discharge. Call the Calig &Handelman Office nearest you. Feel free to show a copy of this e-mail. (There's nothingin it for me.)
