Bankruptcy Solutions for the Honest Debtor
Fortunately for all of us, bankruptcy offers a legal solution for individuals and couples who have become insolvent to obtain relief for a portion or all of their unsecured debt. Its purpose is to give the honest debtor a fresh start. This is done through Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 filings with the bankruptcy court. Once you file, the court will issue an “automatic stay” that prohibits your creditors from making any further contact with you for payment. They can then only go through the court. This provides immediate relief from the stress of creditor harassment.
Chapter 7 is the quickest, easiest, and most common form of bankruptcy, known as “liquidation.” Your non-exempt assets are liquidated by the court to pay off your creditors. Many people retain most of their assets through state exemption laws for filers while unsecured debt is eliminated.
Chapter 13 consists of a reorganization plan in which your debt is paid off through one monthly payment over a period of three to five years. This plan works for those with a stable income. At the end of this plan, whatever unsecured debt remains is discharged.
