What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
The most common form of bankruptcy, Chapter 7 is the type of bankruptcy through which unsecured debt may be discharged. Some types of unsecured debt are: credit card debt, medical bills and personal loans. It is known as the "fresh start" bankruptcy, as it allows you to start over with your finances.
Filing for bankruptcy not only eliminates debt, but stops harassment, garnishment and your worries. Although certain debts such as child support cannot be discharged, most unsecured debt can be.
You may have heard of the recent change in bankruptcy law. Most people can still obtain debt relief. The new law adds some complication to the process, and attempts to prevent abuse. If your income to debt ratio is high, this could prevent you from discharging debt, but this is unusual. Chapter 13 may be an alternative. Call us to learn more.
Your "credit rating" - ability to get credit in the future - will not necessarily suffer. Although the bankruptcy filing will appear on your record, you will not have high debt discouraging lenders from extending credit to you.
