What Is Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a legal process provided under federal law initiated when a person or business is unable to repay outstanding debt. The individual or business is able to get a fresh start by having debt forgiven while also giving their creditors some measure of repayment based on the individual’s or business’s liquid assets.

There are various types of bankruptcy, commonly referred to by their chapter within the federal law or Bankruptcy Code. For example, Chapter 7 relates to individual bankruptcy while Chapter 11 regards enabling businesses to reemerge after filing a reorganization plan.

All bankruptcy cases are handled through federal courts and administration over the case is often handled by a trustee or an officer appointed by the court to represent the debtor’s estate in the proceeding.

What Type of Bankruptcy Will I Need?

The two most common types of individual bankruptcy are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. And the most common for a business is Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Typically reserved for individuals or businesses with few or no assets, Chapter 7 allows the debtor to sell any non-exempt items and use that money to repay some or all of their debt. Those with no valuable assets and only exempt property (such as a home, household goods, vehicle up to a certain value or tools used for a trade) may be eligible to dispose of all of their unsecured debt.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Those individuals who make too much money to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will usually file under Chapter 13. This type of bankruptcy is also known as a ‘wage earner’s plan.

In this type of bankruptcy, the individual or business with a consistent income is able to create a debt repayment plan over a 3-5 year period. In exchange for repayment to their creditors, the courts generally allow these individuals (or businesses) to keep possession of their properties, including otherwise nonexempt property.
