Bankruptcy Information
Bankruptcy Information
Federal Bankruptcy law benefits both debtors and creditors by seeing that debtors get debt relief and creditors collect some of the debts owed. The types of bankruptcy filings are referred to by the chapter of the federal Bankruptcy Code that describes them.
Generally, individuals use Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Each case is different, but someone with few or no valuable assets would prefer chapter 7 because it involves a liquidation of most or all assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a reorganization of debts where the debtor and creditors must accept new terms for debt repayment.
We are providing a great deal of bankruptcy information for those considering, or just researching, bankruptcy.
