Is Bankruptcy The Right Option For You?

Deciding whether bankruptcy is right for you depends upon your personal circumstances. Though not the right option for every occasion, bankruptcy provides in certain instances financially strapped individuals fresh starts.

Keep in mind, however, that not all bankruptcies serve the same purpose. One sort of bankruptcy, for example, may only resolve a certain set of problems and not others. The two most common forms of bankruptcy are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, sometimes known as liquidation bankruptcy, allows for you to achieve a fresh start by eliminating all unsecured debt through a bankruptcy filing. This form of bankruptcy puts a stop to wage garnishment and telephone calls from creditors, but it will not put a stop to foreclosure proceedings or prevent property seizures on secured debt. Filing Chapter 7 allows for a bankruptcy trustee to liquidate certain property to pay the creditors. However, exemptions in the Bankruptcy Code prevent certain types of property from liquidation.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows for you to reorganize or restructure your debt to make your debt payments more manageable. While not eliminating debt in the same manner as Chapter 7, it allows for you to consolidate your debt and pay it back to creditors through a payment plan approved by the court. Such payment restructuring often makes it less difficult for you to continue making house payments and not face wage garnishment circumstances.
