What NOT to do When Filing for Bankruptcy

Filing for Bankruptcy

Burrow & Associates will help simplify the otherwise complex process of filing for bankruptcy by walking you through your options. Knowing which chapter to file under is paramount when filing for bankruptcy. The chapter under which you file is determined by a number of factors, primarily the nature of your debts. The two most common chapters of bankruptcy that we service are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13:

Chapter 7 – This chapter is for indebted consumers who have little to no disposable income. To qualify for Chapter 7, individuals must first pass a federally mandated means test. Chapter 7 can provide relief from unpaid medical bills, credit card balances, unsecured bank loans, creditor harassment, wage garnishment, and more.

Chapter 13 – This chapter involves the repayment of debts in a structured, court-supervised manner, typically over the span of three to five years. A repayment plan is established detailing how much you will repay per month during this period. Chapter 13 will also allow you to rebuild your credit, halt property repossessions, eliminate some types of unsecured debts, and more.

Filing either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help protect you from foreclosures, repossessions, wage garnishments, and debt collection lawsuits. If you are unsure of where you stand in regards to the above chapter descriptions, we will work with you to determine your best course of action.

Bankruptcy Exemptions

When filing for bankruptcy protection, you are required by law to list all your property and assets. One misconception for many people who consider filing bankruptcy is that they will lose all property that they list. Bankruptcy exemptions are designed to protect your property so that you can keep it. There are, however, limitations on how much equity you can have in your property and still keep it. It’s important to understand how to apply the exemptions and the dollar amount for each category that is available to you
