Chapter 7
Bankruptcy

A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is also known as a “liquidation” of your debts because this basically will help you eliminate most, if not all, of your debts.
However, some debts are non-dischargeable, which means you will be required to pay them back. In most cases, filing a Chapter 7 is a basically allowing you to start with a clean slate, stop harassing collection efforts by collection agencies, and eliminate all of your overdue bills.
To file for Chapter 7, you do not need to pay most of your overdue debts because you do not have the financial ability to pay your creditors back.

Chapter 13
Bankruptcy

A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is known as a “consolidation” of your debts because this will restructure your debts into one affordable monthly payment plan over a period of time. A Chapter 13 will discharge a greater variety of debts when compared to a Chapter 7 because you are essentially paying your creditors back under a payment plan which you can afford. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will allow you to stop foreclosures, stop repossessions, reinstate your driver’s license or remove a car boot because of parking tickets, pay delinquent taxes, stop harassing collection efforts by collection agencies, and eliminate your debts through a structured payment plan. To file for Chapter 13, you do need to have the financial ability to maintain a monthly payment plan.
