Do you find your self out of money at the end of every month and still have bills you cannot pay? A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can help wipe out credit cards, medical bills and pay day loans. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy works as a legal debt consolidation giving you a repayment plan of up to 60 months, paying 0 to 100% on your debt. Your creditors cannot sue you while they are being paid in the bankruptcy. Chapter 13 takes into consideration your income, household size and regular monthly expenses to determine your repayment amounts.
Generally, you pay a small payment up front and the attorney fee is financed through the Chapter 13 plan. Chapter 13 helps you take control of your budget. You can keep your house, car and other assets in Chapter 13. The Automatic Stay of the Bankruptcy Code protects you while you repay your creditors.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy allows you to erase debts and keep some assets (up to $10,000 in personal property per filer). The amount of exemption is determined by state law in most cases and by Federal Code in others. A knowledgeable attorney will always ask how long you have lived in the state to determine the protection available to you. You can keep a car or house if they are not worth a lot more than is owed on them.
