Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
There are two basic types of bankruptcies under which an individual may seek relief. A Chapter 7 is a full liquidation, and requires an individual with primarily consumer debt, to qualify to file for relief under this chapter of the bankruptcy code. A Chapter 13 is a reorganization of debt, and requires -individuals to apply their disposable income to a repayment plan for a period of time between 36 and 60 months.
- Chapter 7 is a bankruptcy option that works well for individuals with a lower income and not a lot of secured debt. Credit card debt, medical expenses, and other unsecured loans can all be eliminated through Chapter 7 and you can still protect exempted property, like a family home.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy is available to those who make enough income, but need to consolidate or reorganize their debt. Through Chapter 13, you can reorganize your debt, pay off in low monthly payments. Over time, you will be able lower or reduce any unpaid debts.
