The Advantages Of Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy is a complex area of law. Bankruptcy is a viable option in many circumstances if you have found yourself facing overwhelming personal debt from credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, etc. However, there are different forms of bankruptcy that must be considered when dealing with this debt.

The most common forms of bankruptcy include Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy filings. These can be defined as follows:

Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows for you under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to discharge, with certain exceptions, all unsecured debt that is in your name. In most instances, your possessions will be protected from creditors using various bankruptcy exemptions.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is defined by Black’s Law Dictionary as a part of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code which allows an individual’s earnings “to be collected by a trustee and paid to creditors by means of a court-approved debt repayment plan if the person has a regular income.” When filing Chapter 13, you are allowed to propose a plan that could reduce the balance you owe or a longer period of time to pay off your debt.

Is Bankruptcy The Best Option For You?

Depending upon the circumstances, one particular form of bankruptcy may be best for you. For example, when your debt is chiefly unsecured, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may under specific circumstances allow you to escape from that debt. On the other hand, when you are facing money levies, earning withholdings, foreclosures, trustee sales or repossession of a vehicle with arrearages or back payments owed, Chapter 13 bankruptcy could allow you to create a payment plan that will allow you to deal with these circumstances.
