The Advantages of Chapter 13 vs. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

While Chapter 7 is also known as liquidation or straight bankruptcy and holds the possibility of having all non-exempt assets sold to payback lenders, Chapter 13 allows individuals to pay off debts without selling or losing assets to lenders. Through a court-approved payment plan, you can modify your debts and payback lenders and creditors without worrying about sale of your assets.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often the best choice for income-receiving individuals and families that may have fallen on hard times such as illness or hospital stays, divorce or sudden death of a family member. The overall goal of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is to provide these individuals with a court-approved payment option that will help eliminate debt by significantly lowering payments and providing immediate relief from collectors and collection attempts.

In some situations, a person may work directly with an attorney from our firm who will look at all incomes and disposable incomes and decide that Chapter 13 is the best option for them, other individuals may be advised to file under Chapter 13 after taking a bankruptcy means test. This test is often used to determine eligibility to file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7, but if you are ineligible to file under this chapter, you may be able to file under Chapter 13 and still reap the benefits of filing.
