FAQ

Chapter 11 bankruptcy works well for businesses and individuals whose debt exceeds the Chapter 13 bankruptcy limits. In most cases, Chapter 13 is the better choice for qualifying individuals and sole proprietors.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves repaying some or all of your debt over a three- to- five-year period, while a Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves wiping out most of your debts without paying them back.In that way, a Chapter 13 may be better for your credit than a Chapter 7.

Key Takeaways. Chapter 7 bankruptcy doesn't require a repayment plan but does require you to liquidate or sell nonexempt assets to pay back creditors.Chapter 13 bankruptcy eliminates qualified debt through a repayment plan over a three- or five-year period.

Six months of paycheck stubs. six months of bank statements. tax returns (the last two years) current investment and retirement statements. current mortgage and car loan statements. home and car valuations (printouts from online sources work)

Chapter 13 Is Likely to Worsen Your Finances When your Chapter 13 case is dismissed, you are often in a far worse financial position. That's because the interest on your unpaid debts has continued to mount as you've struggled to make payments. And once you're out of bankruptcy protection, you have more debt than ever.

With Chapter 7, those types of debts are wiped out with your filing's court approval, which can take a few months. Under Chapter 13, you need to continue making payments on those balances throughout your court-instructed repayment plan; afterwards, the unsecured debts may be discharged.

In many cases, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a better fit than Chapter 13 bankruptcy. For instance, Chapter 7 is quicker, many filers can keep all or most of their property, and filers don't pay creditors through a three- to five-year Chapter 13 repayment plan.

How soon can you file for Chapter 13 after Chapter 7 bankruptcy?You can file for a Chapter 13 before four years if no debts were discharged in the Chapter 7 filing, but if you had debts discharged in Chapter 7 and want to have debts discharged in Chapter 13, you must wait four years.
