Personal Bankruptcy
Are you overwhelmed by your debts? Financial problems can happen to good people who work hard. Medical expenses, credit card debt, student loans, job loss and other obligations can cause your debt to spin out of control. But you have legal rights and options--and we can help. Personal bankruptcy is an opportunity created for you to start all over again. The person filing the bankruptcy is referred to as the debtor, and the person whom he/she owes the money to is called the creditor.
Essentially, there are basically two types of bankruptcy available to individuals--Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. In a typical Chapter 7 bankruptcy the debtor is a person with very few assets and a lot of debts. Chapter 7 debts that are not reaffirmed may be discharged. With a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing there is no ceiling for debt restrictions, however, there is a debt ceiling with a Chapter 13 filing. A debtor that files a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is one with unpaid debts that must be repaid and cannot be discharged, for example rent or a car loan.
