What is Bankruptcy?

There are two types of consumer bankruptcy.  Each is intended to help consumers in financial crisis, but the solutions offered are very different. 

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or liquidation, is more common.  A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate a lot of unsecured debt (credit cards, medical bills, old utility bills, unsecured personal loans, etc.), and can generally be completed within just a few months.  In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, the trustee can liquidate (sell) non-exempt assets to pay creditors, but most people who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy don’t have any non-exempt assets, and so are able to keep their property while eliminating unsecured debts.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often the solution of choice for people who have a lot of secured debt, such as car loans and mortgages, and want to keep the property that serves as security for the loans.  In a Chapter 13 case, the debtor enters into a repayment plan that allows 3-5 years to catch up on past due payments.
