If you're considering filing bankruptcy, you should know that Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy provide different kinds of financial protection.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes called “liquidation” because a filer’s bankruptcy trustee can sell off any non-exempt assets to raise money to repay creditors.
In non-legal language, this means that some of your possessions can be sold to raise cash, this is the liquidation part. However, Kansas bankruptcy law may protect many of your possessions.
Only one of the following exemptions may apply to you:
Chapter 13 bankruptcy tends to work for those who have a steady income and have faced a temporary financial setback. It allows filers some breathing room while they catch up on past due debts with a three-five year repayment plan.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy can also be useful for those wishing to halt mortgage foreclosure. Thanks to bankruptcy’s automatic stay, creditors are prohibited from making any collection actions against you while your case is pending. In other words, foreclosures should be prevented for 3-5 years while you get your finances in order.
