What is Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Individuals, families or businesses may qualify to file for Chapter 7 based on an assessment of current income, assets and debts. Filing for this form of bankruptcy allows you to liquidate or dismiss any unsecured debts, including credit card bills, unpaid utilities and medical expenses. Although you cannot discharge taxes or judgments through Chapter 7, it will give you the ability to regain financial independence so that you can manage other debts and begin rebuilding your credit.
What is Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a viable option for individuals who do not qualify for Chapter 7. This may be the case because you own a home or have a level of income that does not meet the Chapter 7 means test. Anyone may file for Chapter 13 to prevent foreclosure, restructure debts and pay back creditors according to a manageable repayment plan.
