What Are the Differences Between Chapter 7, 11 & 13 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as liquidation bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy involves the complete discharge of certain debts. The filer's assets will be liquidated, and the proceeds will be used to pay off the remaining debts. This type of bankruptcy is ideal for people who have a lot of unsecured debt, such as credit card debt. If you have very little income, this may be the best option for you.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy is also known as business reorganization bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy is used by businesses and corporations. It allows the business to continue operating while they negotiate a reorganization plan with their creditors.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also known as reorganization bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy involves a repayment plan that lasts for three to five years. The filer must come up with a monthly payment that will cover their expenses and pay off their debts. This type of bankruptcy is ideal for people who have a steady income but cannot keep up with their debt payments.

What Is Collateral Defense Bankruptcy?

Collateral defense bankruptcy is used to protect property that is at risk of being seized by a creditor. This type of bankruptcy is used when the property being threatened is a primary residence, a vehicle, or other property that a person cannot afford to lose. It can be used to protect a home from foreclosure or repossession, as well as prevent wage garnishment.
