Bankruptcy- Unexpected circumstances and predatory practices by banks and other lenders can sometimes result in burdening people with debts they cannot hope to repay. If you find yourself in this situation bankruptcy might be a good option for you. Individuals can generally choose from two chapters of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Chapter 7 and Chapter13. Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy. At the conclusion of a Chapter 7 all debts are discharged and the creditors are forever barred from collecting on the accounts. Chapter 13 is a reorganization. Upon filing of a Chapter 13 case the Debtor files a plan to make monthly payments to pay the creditors a portion of what they are owed over a period of up to five years. When bankruptcy is the only answer our attorneys can help you in deciding which chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code offers you the best solution. Once you have decided which Chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code offers you the best relief, our attorneys can help you through the process of filing and completing your bankruptcy case.
