Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Discharging Your Debt Through Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

If you are experiencing debt problems, you are far from alone. Bankruptcy may be brought on by divorce, medical bills, loss of a job or other unexpected expenses. Recently, many thousands of bankruptcies have been triggered by the economic recession. You don't have to live with a debt you can't pay off.

Information About Chapter 7 "Liquidation" Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to have your unsecured debts completely wiped away. Because many assets are "exempt" most individuals who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy end up keeping many of their assets. Exempt assets can include:

  • Up to $75,000 in home equity
  • Your primary automobiles
  • Most personal effects, including furniture and home appliances

If you have many assets and/or a high income, you may be better off filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In Chapter 13, you keep assets you need. In exchange, you make a monthly payment for three to five years to pay a portion of your debt.
