Collectively, the clients’ debt exceeded $3.6 million, which included $2.4 million of unsecured and undersecured claims. We filed an individual Chapter 11 bankruptcy case, and we were able to reduce the 1st mortgages down to the value(s) of each property and remove all 2nd mortgages and other encumbrances. In many instances, we were able to successfully propose new 30-year payment terms, at low-interest rates.

Furthermore, with regard to the $2.4 million of unsecured and undersecured claims, we were able to propose a repayment plan of just over 1%, over 5 years, in order to discharge the remaining debt.
