While some people have adopted a negative idea about bankruptcy, the truth is that it can be an effective means of debt relief. If you’re experiencing overwhelming debt that has hindered your ability to live comfortably, you may want to consider bankruptcy. Under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, consumers can find debt relief through one of two types of bankruptcy: liquidation bankruptcy or reorganization bankruptcy.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Liquidation Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is referred to as liquidation bankruptcy because it requires qualifying consumers to liquidate nonexempt assets such as their home and / or car. The liquidation process allows debtors to then repay a manageable amount of their of debts and discharge the rest.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Reorganization Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is referred to as reorganization bankruptcy because it allows for consumers to negotiate a repayment plan with their creditors. Consumers who file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy will be given a period of 3-5 years in which they can repay their debts, after which time the remaining debt will be discharged.
