Options - Chapter 7 or Chapter 13
In a Chapter 7 case, most of the time, your unsecured debts are discharged and your assets beyond allowable exemptions are liquidated to pay some or all of your debt. Usually most of your assets are exempt - meaning they may not be able to be liquidated. Exempt property usually includes your primary residence, your vehicle, certain items of property, tools and work equipment and numerous other categories of property. After your case is completed and all dischargeable debts are forgiven, the bankruptcy case should be closed. You may be able to make a new start with a commitment to avoid getting into this situation again.
In a Chapter 13 case, you may reorganize your debts and repay them in an affordable payment plan that may last 36 to 60 months. Your creditors should not take any action against you while you're repaying your debts.
