WHAT TYPE OF BANKRUPTCY SHOULD YOU FILE?
Consumers may file under two different chapters of bankruptcy. Depending on the type of debt you have and the specifics of your case, one or more of the following may be right for you:
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as liquidation bankruptcy, all non-exempt assets will be sold, and the cost retrieved from them will be distributed among lenders to help repay debts.
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge will eliminate:
- Most unsecured debts
- Credit card debt
- Debts owned by junk debt buyers
- Loans
- Overdrawn checking account balances
- Some state and federal taxes
Upon filing for Chapter 7, an automatic stay will be placed onto your accounts so that all foreclosure and collection attempts will promptly cease.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy also allows debtors to become debt free, but does not require liquidation. Under Chapter 13, consumers will repay debts over time using a court-approved payment plan. Chapter 13 can be a useful tool in saving a home from foreclosure or repaying large amounts of delinquent tax debt that would not otherwise be dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This particular chapter is often the best course of action for people who are still employed and can afford minimum payments against debts.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help to delay or stop:
- Mortgage foreclosure
- Car repossession
- IRS bank levies
WHAT WILL IT COST?
We offer low-cost flat fee representation in Chapter 7 cases and competitive fee structures in Chapter 13 cases that are among the most affordable in Connecticut.
