Finance Law

• Bankruptcy
  Three common types of bankruptcy are Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13. Usually, the fastest and simplest method is Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which involves liquidating assets to pay off debts.
• Foreclosure
  Chapter 7: This is known as “liquidation†or a “straight†bankruptcy. It is used to eliminate debts such as medical bills and credit card debt (which are unsecured), and certain taxes. Some personal property may be protected from creditors by filing Chapter 7, and can be filed by either individuals or businesses. Chapter 11: This type of bankruptcy is known as “reorganization.†All debts (including loans, taxes, rent, and equipment payments) are discharged by Chapter 11. It can be filed by individuals or businesses, with the benefit of the business being able to remain operational while the reorganization is in progress. Chapter 12: Specially tailored for family farmers and fishermen, this type of bankruptcy is a personal or corporate repayment plan. Chapter 12 allows the business to remain operational while the debt is paid off over time, and attempts to keep the operation from having to liquidate assets. Chapter 13: Also known as “debt adjustment,†Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a repayment plan for individuals and sole proprietorships with regular income. It allows for debts to be paid off over time while helping avoid foreclosure or repossession of vehicles or property. Even debts such as child support, mortgages, and money owed to the IRS are included in this method of repayment.
