What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a process provided for under Federal law that entitles you to make a fresh financial start. Chapter 7 eliminates most of your unsecured debt and is normally suggested for someone with few or zero assets. ‘Unsecured debts’ released by Chapter 7 bankruptcy include credit cards, medical bills, most personal loans, judgments resulting from car accidents and deficiencies on repossessed vehicles. However, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy is complicated; you need an experienced and knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney from Figeroux & Associates Bankruptcy Law to guide you through the entire legal process.
In addition to freeing you from your debt, filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy normally allows you to retain some of your property. If your car and mortgage payments are current and if there is no significant equity in your property, you should be able to make arrangements to reaffirm the debt. Keep your home, keep your car, keep your personal belongings, but eliminate your debt; that is the function of Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Conversely, if you do not file Chapter 7, you may lose your home to foreclosure and your car to repossession due to missed or delinquent payments.
