Subject: New Jersey Sample Letter regarding Discharge of Debtor Dear [Debtor's Name], RE: Discharge of Debtor in the State of New Jersey I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to provide you with important information regarding the discharge of debt in the state of New Jersey. As you may be aware, a discharge of debt is a legal process that relieves a debtor from their obligation to repay certain debts. In New Jersey, there are two main types of discharge that debtors may seek: Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge and Chapter 13 bankruptcy discharge. Let's take a closer look at each: 1. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Discharge: Chapter 7 bankruptcy, also known as "liquidation bankruptcy," is a process designed to help individuals or businesses eliminate their eligible debts. Upon successful completion, a Chapter 7 discharge eliminates most types of unsecured debts, such as credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans. However, certain debts, such as student loans, child support, and recent tax obligations, are generally not dischargeable. To apply for a Chapter 7 discharge in New Jersey, you are required to file a petition with your local bankruptcy court and provide thorough documentation regarding your financial situation. Additionally, attending a credit counseling course is typically mandatory before qualifying for this type of discharge. 2. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Discharge: Chapter 13 bankruptcy, often referred to as a "wage earner's plan," allows individuals with a stable income to propose a repayment plan to repay all or a portion of their debts over a specified period, typically three to five years. At the end of the repayment plan, any remaining eligible unsecured debts are discharged. To pursue Chapter 13 discharge in New Jersey, you must file a petition with the bankruptcy court and submit a comprehensive repayment plan. You will also be required to attend a credit counseling course before obtaining this type of discharge. It's important to note that both types of bankruptcy discharge have their own eligibility criteria and potential consequences. Seeking legal advice from a qualified bankruptcy attorney is highly recommended understanding which discharge option may be most suitable for your specific financial circumstances. Please note that this letter is only intended to provide you with an overview of the discharge of debtor process in New Jersey. The information provided is not exhaustive and should not be considered legal advice. I urge you to consult with an attorney or seek professional assistance to discuss your personal circumstances further. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
