Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the most common form of bankruptcy.  Also known as “straight bankruptcy”, Chapter 7 is an affordable legal process that allows individuals to obtain a fresh start by eliminating their debts and protecting their assets.  Debts that are typically discharged include credit cards debts, medical bills, personal loans, older taxes, and balances owed on repossessions and foreclosures.  In 95% of Chapter 7 cases, debtors are able to protect all of their assets, including real estate, vehicles, jewelry, household furnishings, electronics, and anticipated tax refunds.  It is no wonder why millions of Americans are seeking relief under Chapter 7 during these challenging times.

The filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy invokes an automatic stay, which stops creditors calls and halts collection activity, wage garnishments, bank levies, foreclosures, etc.  A Chapter 7 debtor is required to appear at a brief meeting with the bankruptcy trustee appointed to oversee the case.  A typical Chapter 7 case is discharged and completed within four months after filing.

Chapter 7 is also available to corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships and sole proprietors.  Many of our clients are business owners who continue to operate their businesses without interruption during and after their bankruptcy cases without interruption.
