Although there are many different forms of bankruptcy, the 2 most utilized for individual consumers are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
This is also known as liquidation bankruptcy. Chapter 7 lets you eliminate all of your debts that are eligible at once. Chapter 7 is commonly used when you need to get rid of debts relating to your medical bills, credit cards, car payments, etc.
This is also known as “wage earners” bankruptcy. Chapter 13 has you make a payment plan in which you would be paying back a portion or all of your debt. Chapter 13 is frequently used to deter foreclosures and repossessions. This helps to give you protection from the federal court while you are repaying any payments that are past due.
