Filing Bankruptcy

Filing for consumer bankruptcy is a legal process that allows you to eliminate or gradually repay your debts. Depending on the nature of your debt, the most common filings are under Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 may be an appropriate debt relief option for you if you have unmanageable credit card debt or other unsecured debts. This may be the best solution for you if you are not a home owner, or have a home with little equity and do not have other valuable assets. It permits you to discharge unsecured debts without having to repay them.

Filing a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will:

  • Stop calls and letters from creditors
  • Stop law suits
  • Stop wage garnishments and bank levies

With a few exceptions, once you have completed your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, your debts will be eliminated. Creditors will be unable to attempt collection on these debts again.

For more information on consumer bankruptcy, read our Bankruptcy FAQ.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 may be the best option for you if you are a homeowner who is behind on your mortgage or property tax payments. It allows you to reduce or eliminate debts while protecting your home and other valuable assets.

Chapter 13 establishes a three to five year manageable payment plan for secured debts, such as mortgage and property tax delinquencies. It may also eliminate unsecured debts, such as credit card bills, medical expenses and personal loans.

Filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will:

  • Stop calls and letters from creditors
  • Stop foreclosure on your home
  • Reduce or eliminate debts
