Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to obtain a fresh start in a relatively short period of time. A debtor can usually obtain a discharge of their debts within approximately 100 days. Debtors must qualify to file for Chapter 7 and an asset evaluation must be used to determine whether or not the debtor will be able to keep or protect all their assets.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy gives the debtor benefits that are not allowed in Chapter 7 including the ability play catch up on secured debts including mortgages or cars and the ability to strip off junior liens such as second mortgages or owed condo association dues. A typical Chapter 13 bankruptcy lasts between three to five years and the debtor will have to make monthly payments pursuant to their repayment plan.
