Bankruptcy Options

Individuals filing personal bankruptcy have two options, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Eligibility for Chapter 7 is determined through a means test. People who do not qualify for Chapter 7 may still qualify for Chapter 13.

  • Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows debtors to liquidate most types of debt. Certain assets must be turned over for a repayment of debt.
  • Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a bankruptcy option that works for debtors with a steady income. Chapter 13 reorganizes debt and sets debtors up on a repayment plan that lasts between three and five years.
