Filing Bankruptcy may Restore Your Finances to a Healthier Condition
The U.S. Bankruptcy Code offers different protections—Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy—for different circumstances.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy generally provides financial relief for people with lots of credit card debt, medical bills and other unsecured debts through a discharge of those debts.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy generally stops foreclosure and repossession while establishing a repayment plan on past-due balances for things like homes and cars.
