What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, often referred to as "liquidation bankruptcy," is a legal process designed to provide individuals with a fresh financial start. In a Chapter 7 case, a trustee is appointed to sell non-exempt assets to repay creditors, and eligible debts are discharged, giving you a clean slate.

Key Features of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy:

Debt Discharge:

Chapter 7 allows for the discharge of unsecured debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans. This means you are no longer legally obligated to repay these debts.

Automatic Stay:

Upon filing for Chapter 7, an automatic stay goes into effect, preventing creditors from pursuing collection actions. This provides you with immediate relief from creditor harassment and gives you time to address your financial situation.

Fresh Start:

Chapter 7 is often referred to as a "fresh start" because it allows individuals to eliminate overwhelming debt and begin rebuilding their financial lives without the burden of past financial obligations.

Asset Exemptions:

While non-exempt assets may be liquidated to repay creditors, many individuals can retain essential assets through various exemptions. Our experts will help you understand and maximize the exemptions available to you.
