Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Also referred to as a straight or liquidation bankruptcy, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate most of your unsecured debt. This process, however, may involve selling off some of your assets to pay off as much of the debt as you can. In order to file, you must pass a means test, which is designed to determine that you have the means to repay a portion of your debt. 

All in all, Chapter 7 bankruptcy makes sense for those who:

  • Have little to no disposable income and no way to repay overwhelming debts
  • Do not have many assets
  • Have a low credit score

Debts that may be discharged include credit card debt, medical bills, past-due utility bills, unsecured personal loans, and more. Our practice will look closely at your financials to determine if you should file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or look to other options.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Also referred to as a reorganization bankruptcy or a wage earner’s plan, Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables individuals with a regular income to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts, typically over the course of three to five years.

Chapter 13 lets you catch up on secured debts — such as your home or your car — while discharging unsecured debts. Among the biggest draws of this type of bankruptcy is that it lets debtors keep their property and catch up on missed mortgage, car, and priority debt payments.

The main difference in eligibility between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy boils down to income. Our bankruptcy attorneys and paralegals in Oak Brook or Chicago will work closely with you to devise a repayment plan designed for bankruptcy court and creditor approval.
