Types of Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or as it is more commonly known, “straight bankruptcy,” is the process of eliminating debt by receiving the Chapter 7 “discharge,” a federal court order that an individual’s debts are extinguished. The purpose of Chapter 7, according to the courts, is to provide comprehensive relief from unsecured debt. At the client’s discretion, secured debt, such as for homes and vehicles, pass through the Chapter 7, allowing the client to keep a valuable and necessary asset and continue to pay for it as if the bankruptcy never happened. Other debts, with some exception, vanish completely, giving the client the fresh financial start without the continuing burden of crippling debt.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, commonly known as “Debtor’s Court,” is an efficient and financially attractive repayment plan for important debts, such as mortgage notes, automobile loans, income taxes, and domestic support obligations. Repayment plans for Chapter 13 cases are structured around the individual client’s ability to pay, and almost always result in a monthly repayment of considerably less than the client’s current monthly obligations. Chapter 13 is also available to individuals who have had a Chapter 7 case in the recent past, but who have incurred unmanageable debt since the Chapter 7 discharge.
Both types of bankruptcy offer the fundamental protection of the Bankruptcy Code, which include the immediate and automatic stopping of all collection activities from any creditor, including garnishments, lawsuits, foreclosures, and repossessions. Known in the Bankruptcy Code as the “automatic stay,” the filing of a bankruptcy case results in an immediate and comprehensive injunction against all collection activities.
Put simply, bankruptcy law is the single most favorable law enacted for the financial protection of the individual in a consumer and debt-driven economy. It is designed specifically to assist an individual through difficult financial times, and the law firm of Jaffe & Erdberg is committed to ensuring that process works effectively and smoothly for our clients.
