Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

March 13th, 2009

There are substantial differences between filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and filing for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and it is important to know which is best for you before you decide how do i remove a bankruptcy. You may only qualify for one type of bankruptcy. Many people think of Chapter 7 as the “good” bankruptcy, because Chapter 7 allows you to discharge debt rather than having to repay it. What they don’t realize, however, is that all of their non-exempt property will be sold off to help pay for their debt. With Chapter 13, you have to repay the money that you owe, but you are given more time to do so and can negotiate better terms with your creditors. In order to file for Chapter 13 protection, you must have a reliable source of income.
