Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy can allow qualifying individuals to discharge certain unsecured debts and obtain financial relief. The process may involve the liquidation of non-exempt assets, although what happens depends on the debtor’s property, available exemptions, and individual circumstances.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows qualifying individuals to reorganize certain debts through a repayment plan that generally lasts three to five years. It may provide a way to address past-due obligations while retaining property that could otherwise be at risk.
