Which chapter fits your needs?

Each type of bankruptcy, or chapter, has different requirements and involves a different process. It is important to understand your options and determine which chapter best fits your needs. We help you choose the right debt relief plan for your circumstances and guide you through each step of the process.

Chapter 7

If you have unsecured debt such as credit card debt, medical bills or deficiency balances due to auto repossession, Chapter 7 may be the right option for you. It is often referred to as straight bankruptcy and involves the elimination of eligible debts. Chapter 7 is especially effective for anyone who has minimal assets but a significant amount of debt.

How does it work?

All of your non-exempt property is converted into cash by a bankruptcy trustee who then distributes it to your creditors. Within approximately four months you should receive a discharge of all eligible debts.

Chapter 13

Chapter 13 is also known as reorganization bankruptcy. It may be right for you if you have non-exempt property that you would like to keep and a reliable income that will enable you to meet your daily expenses while paying off your debt. Filing for Chapter 13 stops foreclosure actions and may enable you to refinance your vehicle. This makes it an excellent option for qualified individuals interested in saving their home or car.

How does it work?

Under Chapter 13, you create a court-approved three- to five-year debt payment plan based on your income. Your debts are consolidated into one payment you make to a Chapter 13 trustee who then disburses individual payments to each of your creditors.
