What Type of Bankruptcy Should I File?

If you have fallen behind on payments for medical expenses and are looking for relief, filing for bankruptcy might be a good option for you to consider. Under the Bankruptcy Code, there are several different forms of bankruptcy.

The two most common forms of bankruptcy for individuals include:

  • Chapter 7 – This type of bankruptcy enables you to wipe away your debts, without the concern of past-due payments. Also known as “liquidation bankruptcy,” Chapter 7 involves a court-appointed trustee liquidating, or selling, some of your assets to repay some of your debts. After that money is dispersed to your creditors, the remaining debt will be discharged, or cancelled, leaving you with no more unsecured debts to pay.
  • Chapter 13 – Rather than liquidating your assets, Chapter 13 involves reorganizing your debt into a structured repayment plan over a 3-5-year period. You would make one payment each month to a trustee, who would then disperse the appropriate funds to your creditors. Once you complete all payments that are a part of the plan, the remaining debts will be discharged.

Choosing the right form of bankruptcy for your particular situation is crucial for your success and should only be done with an experienced legal representative on your side.
