What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows both individuals and couples who cannot meet their financial obligations to be excused from having to repay some or all of their unsecured debt. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing is the simplest, easiest, and fastest way to accomplish this. This type of bankruptcy is a liquidation process where your assets and property that are subject to the process are surrendered, sold, and the proceeds distributed to creditors.
Dischargeable debt includes:
- Credit Card Debt
- Medical & Dental Bills
- Personal Loans
- and other debt not backed by collateral
However, much of your personal property is exempt from the bankruptcy process under rules set up for this purpose. In many cases, you will not lose most of your personal belongings or assets such as household goods, stocks, clothing, pensions, public benefits, and more. This will be determined at the time your case is analyzed by our attorney. In exchange for the surrender of assets, your unsecured debt will be discharged by the bankruptcy court, giving you a clean slate. This does not apply to mortgages or vehicle loans, which you will be required to continue paying if you wish to keep them.
