What Is A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filing?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings, also called straight bankruptcies, allow a person to wipe away their unsecured debts. These filings require a person to liquidate their assets to pay back creditors. These liquidated assets can include a secondary vehicle, stocks, bonds and other assets. For many people, a single vehicle, home and other basic necessities are exempt from liquidation. Our attorneys can determine what property is exempt and negotiate to get you the best possible outcome.
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can discharge many types of debts, including:
- Credit card debt
- Medical bills
- Past-due utility bills
- Business debts
- Personal loans
Some debts, such as most types of student loans and child support payments, are not dischargeable with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. There are also certain time restrictions when filing for bankruptcy if you have previously filed a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. We can tell you what debts qualify for ejection and find out if you are eligible to file for bankruptcy.
