What is Consumer Bankruptcy?
Consumer bankruptcy is a legal process governed by federal law that allows individuals to reorganize or eliminate their debts, depending on their situation and income level. It’s a powerful tool designed to give people facing financial hardship a chance at a fresh start.
Key Types of Consumer Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Known as “liquidation bankruptcy,” this involves the sale of some of your non-exempt assets by a court-appointed trustee to repay creditors. Certain debts can be discharged completely.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
This is a “reorganization bankruptcy” where you create a repayment plan, typically lasting 3 to 5 years, to pay back all or a portion of your debts. You retain your assets during this process.
Who Can Benefit from Consumer Bankruptcy?
While bankruptcy isn’t suitable for everyone, it may be the right path if you’re facing:
- Mounting credit card debt
- Past-due medical bills
- Foreclosure threats
- Lawsuits from creditors
- Wage garnishment
- Harassing calls from debt collectors
