Chapter 7
If you have no source of income and are seeking discharge for most of your debts, you can consider filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 7. As per this chapter, a court trustee will take over your non-exempt property and repay your creditors after liquidating these assets. Although a large number of your unsecured debts may be discharged, some debts like the ones mentioned below should be repaid:
- Alimony
- Child support
- Taxes
- Fines and penalties for breaking the law
- Any debts not mentioned in your bankruptcy petition
- Personal injury claims
- Study loans
Chapter 13
You can file for bankruptcy under Chapter 13, if you have a regular and secure source of income and desire to repay your loans in a systematic manner. Corporations and partnerships cannot file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
While filing the petition, you must submit to the court:
- a comprehensive list of all your debts, with details of the respective creditors,
- a thorough compilation of your property and assets,
- a summary of your day-to-day living expenses, and
- a repayment plan for a period of three to five years.
The court will approve this plan, if there is no objection from any of the creditors, and appoint a trustee to oversee the repayment.
