Difference Between Bankruptcy Chapters
Since there are many options and decisions to make during the bankruptcy process, it is in your best interest to speak with a Connecticut bankruptcy attorney before filing. The difference between commonly-filed chapters are as follows:
- Chapter 7: This is filed to allow the debtor a fresh start. The debtor is able to wipe out or discharge unsecured debt such as credit card obligations, medical bills, past due utilities, personal loans, deficiencies on mortgages or auto loans and certain taxes. These obligations are not paid back.
- Chapter 11: Businesses may use bankruptcy to reorganize their finances. This is the only option for limited liability companies, corporations, and partnership entities.
- Chapter 13: This chapter is considered a reorganization of debt and is commonly used to assist a property owner in bringing a past due mortgage current. Sometimes, it is used to protect an important asset that could be lost if the debtor were to file a chapter seven.
There are other ways to file for bankruptcy, as well. If you are considering bankruptcy for your individual or business financial needs, it would be in your best interest to speak with a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney.
