Whether you file bankruptcy is a personal decision that you shouldn't make until you have complete information. So be sure you are fully informed about Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcy. They each can affect your debt in different ways.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy: This may be a good option if you own property that you want to protect. Chapter 13 bankruptcy can order and cram down your debt, putting a hold on collection. If a means test determines you have enough regular income, you would then make regular payments to a trustee. Then, in 3-5 years, you could be on your way to a debt-free life.
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy: If a large amount of your debt is unsecured, that is, stemming from credit cards, medical bills, payday loans and the like, then this may be a good option for you. In some Chapter 7 cases the debt may be discharged. And, thanks to the Missouri exemptions, most people that file Chapter 7 are able to keep their home, car and other possessions.
