Have questions about declaring bankruptcy?
Declaring bankruptcy isn’t the end of the road – it’s a chance for a new beginning, providing you with the opportunity to work out a plan for getting yourself out of debt down the line. It also saves you from dealing with creditors and collections, as well as foreclosure proceedings.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves the liquidation of all of a person’s assets, which are determined when the paperwork is filed. Chapter 11 is intended for businesses that wish to extend loan terms, cut down on payment sizes and reorganize debts. This variation of bankruptcy is recommended for those who wish to retain their property. Chapter 13 is essentially Chapter 11 for individuals.
Regardless of which type of bankruptcy you’re looking into, you’re bound to run into questions along the way. Whether you want to know how the filing process works, or which factors may qualify you for declaring bankruptcy, you’ll need to speak to someone who is qualified to help you.

Common inquiries about declaring bankruptcy
Can I file for bankruptcy if I don’t think I can repay my debts in the future?
Chapter 7 is suited for people and businesses who don’t have the ability to erase their debts due to insufficient funds and income. You would have more debts erased with this form of bankruptcy, but you’ll also lose more of your assets.
If I’m filing for Chapter 13, do I get to make my own repayment plan?
You’ll need to propose a plan that showcases your income, as well as the way you plan to pay off what you owe. To finalize this plan, however, you’ll need to work with the court in order to use your property value, income and total debt to come up with the specifics of the payments you’ll need to make.
How do I get started with filing for bankruptcy?
The exact procedure for filing will vary from location to location. It will also depend on the type of bankruptcy being filed for. The only way to know for certain is to speak with an Expert.
