Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Many people have heard of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, but do not understand how one solution differs from the other. It is essential to work with a conscientious lawyer who will listen to you, analyze your specific debt concerns and explain what options are available. Here is a basic distinction between Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy:

  • A Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing is the most common approach for those whose problems primarily stem from credit card balances, medical bills and other unsecured debts. The relief it provides is prompt and dependable, but filers must meet income guidelines and other requirements to be eligible.
  • In contrast, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing can provide relief if a Chapter 7 is not a good option and you have significant debt problems. It can be the best way to stop home foreclosure or deal with other debts such as tax debts. Since a Chapter 13 filer enters a plan and must make monthly payments to a trustee for a three- to five-year period, practical, experienced and realistic legal counsel is a must for anyone considering Chapter 13.

Please do not wait and worry about the next action a creditor may take — or lose another night’s sleep running numbers that do not add up. If you are considering tapping into your 401(k) or borrowing from relatives, talk to us first. All too often, clients give up assets they could have protected by getting qualified legal advice sooner.
