In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, your general unsecured debts like medical bills and credit cards will be wiped clean. There will also be no need to repay balances through a repayment plan. To qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, there are certain income levels you must meet. If you make more than the maximum amount, you will have to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case.
Though Chapter 7 can work swimmingly for low-income debtors will few or no assets, it can also work for filers whose discharged debt stretches beyond their property value sold. Visit our office to determine if this is your best course of action.
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, a debtor’s payments are reorganized to help you pay over each month. Through this repayment plan, you can keep all of your property, including your non-exempt assets. Nonetheless, you must pay creditors an equivalent quantity to your non-exempt property’s worth. In exchange, the debtor will return all or a portion of your debts through the repayment plan.
To reiterate, Chapter 13 is for debtors who do not qualify for Chapter 7, have non-dischargable debt like child support or alimony, and have fallen behind on a car or house payment.
