Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Explained

Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates debt. Unsecured debt is discharged through Chapter 7. To qualify for this type of bankruptcy, an individual must pass a means test.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Explained

Chapter 13 bankruptcy reorganizes debt into the creation of a three- to five-year repayment plan. The overall amount to be paid back during the course of the plan is dependent on debt-to-income ratio.

Bankruptcy Offers Protection

Many people struggling with debt fear the prospect of creditors seizing their property. Bankruptcy offers protection against creditor actions to take your property and wages. As soon as bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay is put into place which prohibits creditors from taking collection actions against a debtor. This includes repossession, wage garnishment, and foreclosure.
