Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy of the US Bankruptcy Code is the Bankruptcy Code’s “liquidation” chapter.
Upon the filing of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy petition, an impartial bankruptcy case trustee is appointed by the United States bankruptcy trustee to administer the case and liquidate the debtor’s nonexempt assets.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney at Law Office of Robert W. Fong can help with the process. In Chapter 7 there is no repayment required for most unsecured debts, your debts are wiped out completely and permanently. In about 99% of Chapter 7 cases, the consumer keeps all property, and eliminates most debts.
The entire process usually takes less than 4 months to complete. After the bankruptcy is over, the consumer may choose to selectively pay back debts, such as debts to family members, however repayment is not legally required.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
The most common misconception regarding Chapter 13 is that it is a “repayment plan”.
Some people have to do a Chapter 13 instead of a Chapter 7 either because they make too much money or because they have an asset that they would lose in a Chapter 7.
Some people, however, choose to do a Chapter 13 because of the unique benefits that this type of filing provides the client. A Chapter 13 allows one to save their house from foreclosure by bringing their first mortgage current, and in many situation, completely eliminating their second mortgage. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy also allows you to repay IRS debt interest and penalty free, and to reduce your car loan.
