What Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as liquidation bankruptcy, is a fresh start for people who are too far in debt to dig their way out. A Chapter 7 discharge of debts can eliminate most of your debts such as credit cards and medical bills. When you take the Chapter 7 route, some of your assets may be subject to forfeiture. These assets are then sold to reimburse creditors. You must qualify under the income-based means test to file Chapter 7. Our lawyers can help you take advantage of this one-time opportunity to reset your finances.
What Is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as a repayment plan, provides immediate relief from creditors while you pay off your debts over time. You make one fixed monthly payment to a bankruptcy trustee, who distributes payments to your creditors. Filing for chapter 13 relief implements an automatic stay, which stops debt collection and creditor harassment and halts creditor actions like wage garnishment, vehicle repossession and home foreclosure.
