Bankruptcy – Get a Fresh Start

Types of Bankruptcy

Some of the common types of bankruptcy are:

  • Chapter 7 : A form of personal or consumer bankruptcy that is also known as a “fresh start” as it allows qualifying individuals to have most of their unsecured debt discharged
  • Chapter 13 : Another form of personal or consumer bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 is a repayment plan that allows you to have your debt reorganized in order for you to pay off what you owe in amounts that you can afford.
  • Chapter 11 : If you own a business, and the business is facing bankruptcy, a Chapter 11 is the proper type of bankruptcy to file as it will allow you to continue to operate your business while paying off your debts. This is a very expensive process and not recommended for small business.
