Types of Personal Bankruptcy

There are several types of personal bankruptcy that may be right for your situation.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - In chapter 7 , the person, couple or business filing will be liquidating their non-exempt assets to discharge their debts. Many possessions do classify as exempt - meaning you get to keep them. This is a great option for those who don’t have a way to pay back their debts and want to just be done with it, and get a fresh start as fast as possible. Especially if you have a high amount of debt, lower income, and not a lot of assets.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy - another form of personal bankruptcy, Chapter 13 gives debtors a way to pay their creditors back over time - three to five years - rather than liquidate their assets to discharge the debts. It can be a viable option for those who don’t qualify for Chapter 7 (perhaps from a higher income than is allowable), and who can and want to pay their creditors back.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy - while less commonly used for individuals, Chapter 11 can sometimes be recommended for those who do not qualify for either Chapter 7 or 13. With this route, debts are reorganized and put on a repayment plan in a way that works for the creditors. It gives the debtor some extra time to pay back what is owed, and can be a great relief.
