Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 is known as “straight bankruptcy.” If your expenses are greater than your net income, then you will be a candidate for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out unsecured debts such as credit card bills and medical bills. However, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can also eliminate your obligation to pay secured debts such as debts on your car or your home.
Many people believe that they will lose their homes and cars if they file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. We are usually able to obtain Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief for clients while allowing them to keep their homes and vehicles.
If you have significant equity in your assets that you want to keep, filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the best way to help you save those assets.
