Most people respond negatively to bankruptcies but it is, sometimes, necessary to file bankruptcy to get a fresh start in life by eliminating your debt. All bankruptcies are not the same. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the most common type of filing by individuals who are behind on credit cards or medical bills, or facing wage garnishment or debt-related legal action. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a common type of filing for individuals that have fallen behind on mortgage payments or car payments, and intend to catch up through a repayment plan.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a specific level of income to be able to afford a repayment plan. In simple terms, qualifying for a Chapter13 requires having the means to afford all monthly expenses, including mortgage payments and car payments, plus enough left over to pay back the amount of missed mortgage and car payments in a 3-5 year plan. The bankruptcy process can be confusing and difficult but you do not have to do it alone.
If you are getting creditor calls, facing wage garnishment, feeling overwhelmed, or maybe you even have a lawsuit, it is a very good time to call a good lawyer. In order to meet your specific needs a lawyer will take your current situation and your main reason for filing for bankruptcy into account to meet your goals.
Benefits of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy immediately stops foreclosure, eliminates credit card debts, wipes out personal loans and medical bills. In some cases, a second or third mortgage on a house can be eliminated. Creditors and collection calls will be stopped immediately by filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and may be filed to recover a repossessed car and stops wage garnishment.
Benefits of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy also eliminates debts such as personal loans, medical bills or credit card loans and stops foreclosures (temporarily). Chapter 7 bankruptcy is different from Chapter 13 bankruptcy with respect to the mortgage payments made on a house. With a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, creditors and collection calls will be stopped immediately. Wage garnishments are also stopped immediately upon filing.
