A Vermont Involuntary Petition Against an Individual is a legal process used to address an individual who has failed to pay their debts. This type of petition is specifically for debtors living in the state of Vermont. It is a way for creditors to collect the money owed to them by filing a petition in court. There are two types of Vermont Involuntary Petition Against an Individual: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. A Chapter 7 petition is a liquidation proceeding to discharge certain debts. A Chapter 13 petition is a reorganization of the debtor's finances and enables the debtor to make payments on their debt over a period of time. The petition must include the name and address of the debtor, the amount of the debt owed, the name and address of the creditor, and a description of the debt. The petition must be signed by two or more creditors, and must be filed with the court. The court will then issue an order for the debtor to appear in court to answer the petition. If the court finds that the debtor is unable to pay the debt, it will issue an order of discharge. The creditor may also be able to recover interest and court costs from the debtor. The process can take several months or longer, depending on the complexity of the case.
