Chapter 7 bankruptcy offers individuals a way to eliminate most or all of their unsecured debts, giving them a chance for a fresh financial start. It’s often called “liquidation bankruptcy” because some of your assets may be sold to repay creditors. However, many essential assets, like your home, car, and personal belongings, are often protected under exemption laws, meaning you can keep these while discharging unsecured debts.
This process usually takes 4-6 months from start to finish, providing a relatively quick resolution compared to other types of bankruptcy. Once your debts are discharged, you are no longer legally obligated to pay them, which can bring immediate relief from creditor harassment, wage garnishments, and overwhelming financial stress.
Chapter 7 is ideal for those who lack the income to manage their debts but want a clean break to rebuild their financial future. It provides an opportunity to reset and move forward without the burden of past financial mistakes. While it may involve liquidating some assets, the exemptions available mean that most individuals can retain the necessities they need to get back on their feet.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, often called a “wage earner’s plan,” allows individuals to reorganize their debts into a manageable repayment plan. Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 does not require you to liquidate your assets. Instead, you create a repayment plan, typically lasting 3 to 5 years, which allows you to pay off some or all of your debts based on your income and expenses.
Chapter 13 is ideal for those who have a regular income but are struggling with debt. It can help stop foreclosure on your home and allow you to catch up on missed mortgage payments while protecting your assets. This type of bankruptcy is also beneficial for managing secured debts, such as car loans, without the risk of losing property. Once the repayment plan is completed, any remaining eligible unsecured debts are discharged, providing you with a fresh financial start.
Chapter 13 gives individuals the opportunity to keep their property while working out a structured way to pay off their debts. It’s a solution that enables you to regain control of your finances without starting from scratch, making it particularly helpful for those with valuable assets they wish to protect.
