Your First Step In Bankruptcy
When debts become unmanageable, the first step you should take is to speak with us. We can explain all the available options to you and guide you to the choice that makes the most sense for your situation. Most likely, you will choose one of the following types of bankruptcy:
- Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: This type of bankruptcy is considered a “liquidation” bankruptcy. In it, with some exceptions, you liquidate all of your assets and pay a lump sum. Once done, the court discharges all your nonexempted debts.
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: This type of bankruptcy is a “reorganization” bankruptcy. In this chapter, all your eligible debts are combined, and you receive a payment plan. You adhere to this payment plan, and after a period of time, between three and five years, the court discharges your debts.
Please keep in mind that each type of bankruptcy has specific requirements that you must meet. Additionally, some debts, such as student loans, are ineligible for bankruptcy. However, a student loan is often only one part of the complex debt problems you may have.
