Filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case in New Mexico
The New Mexico bankruptcy laws provide for two main paths for individuals filing bankruptcy: Chapter 7 bankruptcy and the Chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan.
Your bankruptcy attorney can answer your questions about the process and help you decide which option provides you the most relief and protection.
Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy work in different ways, though they both strive for the same goal.
Generally speaking:
- Chapter 7 bankruptcy may give you the most relief if most of your debt is unsecured and stems from credit cards, personal loans, medical bills and utilities. These debts may be discharged during your case proceedings.
- Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide you more protection, particularly if you own multiple cars or large amounts of land or other property.
