Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
What Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 is one of the most common types of consumer bankruptcy. It allows those who cannot pay their debts to get a fresh financial start. Once you file bankruptcy, creditors have to stop garnishing your wages. They can no longer harass you or attempt to collect on the debts you owe. After successfully completing Chapter 7, all of your qualifying debts will be wiped away.
Who Qualifies For Filing Chapter 7?
Not everyone can file under Chapter 7. Those who qualify must meet certain income guidelines. In general, you must not have filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the last six to eight years (although you might still qualify for Chapter 13).
How Long Does Chapter 7 Take?
Unlike Chapter 13, which takes years to complete, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is relatively swift. You can generally get rid of your debts within a matter of months. However, the process is confusing. It’s important to get professional legal guidance so you can avoid pitfalls and make the most of your rights.
