ARE YOU READY FOR A CLEAN SLATE?

Chapter 7 is what most people imagine when they think of bankruptcy, and this may be the quickest way for a debtor to regain control over their financial situation. Filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy is a fairly quick and efficient process to eliminate your debt. This is considered a liquidation bankruptcy where the eligible debtor is discharged from all of their debt. A typical chapter 7 lasts about five months before the debtor receives a discharge.
This will be the most helpful solution for those who have collected a substantial amount of unsecured debt, meaning: money you owe on things you can’t touch; debt such as: credit cards, medical bills, past due accounts, etc.

MISCONCEPTIONS of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Many people think that they will lose all that they own if they file a chapter 7 bankruptcy, however often those fears are greatly exaggerated. Depending upon which exemptions the debtor is entitled to, many assets will most likely be protected. Another common myth is that you won’t be able to keep your home or car once you file. That is not always the case.
