What are the most common types of bankruptcy?
There are a number of bankruptcy options for debt relief. There are two that are more common than others and must be thoroughly understood before moving forward. Each has their pros and cons and their own possibility of numerous outcomes.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Also known as an “individual debt adjustment”, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a debt restructuring option where you can propose a 3 to 5 year payment plan with your creditors. Some benefits include
- Ability to keep non-exempt assets (homes, cars etc)
- Protect your co signers
- Create a payment plan you can work with
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
The more “extreme” option is Chapter 7 bankruptcy where you gather your non-exempt assets, sell them and use the proceeds to pay your creditors. You will need to provide the courts proof that you are unable to pay your debts using this method. Some benefits include
