Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 - Which is better for you?

Under a Chapter 13, also known as a reorganization proceeding, a debtor files a petition to consolidate their debts and with the court devises a payment plan over a period of three to five years. A Chapter 13 is designed for debtors with regular incomes who want to pay their debts but are currently unable to do so. The purpose of Chapter 13 is to enable financially distressed consumers, under court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which their creditors are paid over an extended period of time. Any individual with regular income, even if self-employed or operating an unincorporated business, may be eligible for this type of relief.

In a Chapter 7 case, the trustee liquidates all nonexempt assets, although many debtors in Chapter 7 cases don't have any assets that are not exempt, and thus there is no liquidation. At the conclusion of the Chapter 7, the debtor may be freed from many debts, although student loans, taxes, alimony and child support are in most cases not dischargeable.
