Is bankruptcy right for you?

Bankruptcy itself refers to an instance in which a person or business cannot repay their debts. The process was created to help protect you from creditors, and allow you to make a fresh start.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation bankruptcy. It is the type of bankruptcy most people think of when they think of bankruptcy. In Chapter 7 you list all of your assets and all of the people that you owe money to. If there are any of your assets that can be sold to pay down your debts it will happen.

Chapter 7

Chapter 13 bankruptcies are repayment bankruptcies. This may be preferable if you don't qualify for Chapter 7, or have assets that you don't wish to liquidate. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can provide a person who is faced with a foreclosure the opportunity to catch up on their mortgage over a period of time as opposed to bringing a mortgage current immediately.
