This chapter of the Bankruptcy Code generally provides for reorganization, usually involving a corporation or partnership. A chapter 11 debtor usually proposes a plan of reorganization to keep its business alive and pay creditors over time. People in business or individuals can also seek relief in chapter 11.

Unlike other types of consumer bankruptcy, Chapter 11 bankruptcy does not strictly define what will happen to debts. Certain types of debts (such as student loans, unpaid child support, and unpaid taxes) are not dischargeable, so if these are part of the bankruptcy, the plan must include a way to pay those back.

How Much Does It Cost to File for Bankruptcy in South Dakota? All filers pay a $338 filing fee in Chapter 7 unless the court grants a fee waiver and a $313 filing fee in Chapter 13 (amounts current as of August 2023). You'll also pay approximately $50 to $75 for credit counseling and debt management courses.

The biggest difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 is that Chapter 7 focuses on discharging (getting rid of) unsecured debt such as credit cards, personal loans and medical bills while Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on secured debts like your home or your car while also discharging unsecured debt.

Under Chapter 11, the company's management still oversees daily operations, but must submit more major decisions to the bankruptcy court for approval. While a company is in Chapter 11, its stock may still have some value, but its price will likely have fallen dramatically and will have stopped paying dividends.
