When overwhelming debt begins to affect your finances, family, or ability to plan for the future, finding the right solution can feel difficult. At Fred Wehrwein, P.C., we help individuals, families, farmers, and small businesses throughout Fort Wayne and Northern Indiana understand their legal options for dealing with burdensome debt.
Every financial situation is different. The right approach depends on factors such as your income, assets, debts, financial goals, and the type of obligations you are facing. Our goal is to review your circumstances, explain your available options, and help you make an informed decision about the next step.
Find the Right Debt Relief Solution for Your Financial Situation
Debt can build for many reasons, including unexpected medical expenses, credit card balances, personal loans, reduced income, or other financial challenges. When monthly payments become difficult to manage, creditors may also begin collection efforts that add to the stress.
A personalized evaluation can help determine which debt relief strategy may be appropriate for your circumstances. As an experienced debt relief attorney in Indiana, Fred Wehrwein focuses on helping clients understand bankruptcy and debt reorganization options rather than promising a one-size-fits-all solution.
Explore Your Debt Relief Options
There is no single debt relief solution that works for everyone. Depending on your circumstances and eligibility, available options may include:
- Bankruptcy options for qualifying individuals and businesses
- Debt reorganization through a structured repayment plan
- Reduction or elimination of qualifying unsecured debts
- Strategies for addressing past-due obligations and creditor pressure
- A structured path toward greater financial stability
Bankruptcy can provide important legal protections and may allow qualifying debts to be discharged or reorganized. The best option depends on your specific financial circumstances.
Bankruptcy as a Debt Relief Solution
For many individuals facing substantial unsecured debt, bankruptcy may provide a legal path toward financial recovery. Bankruptcy may help address certain types of credit card debt, medical bills, personal loans, and collection accounts.
Fred Wehrwein, P.C. handles several types of bankruptcy, including Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, and Chapter 13. The appropriate chapter depends on factors such as the type of debt involved, income, assets, and eligibility.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: A Fresh Start From Qualifying Debts
Chapter 7 bankruptcy may allow eligible individuals to eliminate qualifying unsecured debts and pursue a fresh financial start. Common unsecured debts may include credit card balances, medical expenses, and certain personal loans.
Eligibility depends on your financial circumstances, including income and the applicable bankruptcy requirements. During a consultation, your debts, assets, income, and financial goals can be reviewed to determine whether Chapter 7 may be appropriate.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: A Structured Repayment Solution
Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides eligible individuals with a court-approved repayment plan. Rather than immediately pursuing liquidation, Chapter 13 allows qualifying debtors to reorganize certain debts and make payments over a period of time.
For individuals who are behind on mortgage payments or facing foreclosure, Chapter 13 may also provide an opportunity to address past-due payments while protecting important assets. The details of any repayment plan depend on the individual’s financial circumstances.
