Chapter 7 bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy law involves the liquidation of debts, meaning that debtors must sell some of their assets. The proceeds are distributed to creditors. However, most assets can be exempted, or protected.

Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy may allow you to stop asset repossession, as well as wipe out debt due to...

  • Liens
  • Levies
  • Credit cards
  • Medical bills
  • Second mortgages
  • Contractual obligations like loans

However, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will temporarily hinder your ability to make purchases on credit or to qualify for a loan.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy law involves the reorganization of debts, allowing debtors to pay creditors in full or in part within three to five years. A repayment plan may allow you to...

  • Save your home from foreclosure and your vehicle from repossession
  • Catch up on back taxes and child support payments
  • Repay your debts with a reduced interest rate
