Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to obtain a "fresh start" and is sometimes referred to as "liquidation bankruptcy." The concept is give you a fresh start and we utilize a liquidation analysis to determine whether all your assets are exempt. It is very common to file a Chapter 7 and not lose your assets. Upon the filing of the Chapter 7 petition with the court, creditors can no longer make any debt collection efforts. Even after the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005, debtors can qualify for Chapter 7 and eliminate unsecured debts including medical expenses, credit card debts, and other loans. We assist debtors in obtaining protection from creditors, preserving their assets and obtaining a fresh start.

In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the debtor files a plan of reorganization along with their bankruptcy petition. The most common use of a Chapter 13 is to save your home. Not only will filing stop foreclosures, it will also stop wage garnishments, repossession of property, and help you retain your assets. Unlike Chapter 7, however, you will be required to make payments against your debt. The repayment plan will be determined by the court based on your ability to pay.
