Chapter 7
Chapter 7 offers straight bankruptcy, which means that after your unsecured debts are discharged, the remaining debts will be repaid after the liquidation of your non-exempt assets.
Debts which the law defines as non-dischargeable are:
- Study loans
- Alimony
- Personal injury compensation
- Child support
- Taxes
- Fines imposed by the government for breach of laws
- Debts not mentioned in your bankruptcy petition
- Debts owed due to fraud, embezzlement or larceny
You are allowed to retain assets like a homestead of specified worth, pension benefits, gains from insurance claims, wages, tools of your trade, some personal miscellaneous items and personal injury claims.
Chapter 13
If you have a steady income, you can file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, whereby you can repay your debts according to a structured plan. You must submit a record of your finances, list of debts with particulars, details of your monthly living expenses and a repayment schedule for a period of three to five years, to the court. The court will approve this plan subject to the creditors’ opinion, and appoint a trustee to supervise the repayment plan.
Chapter 13 allows you to retain most of your property, but to understand its details it is better to consult a bankruptcy attorney.
Our bankruptcy attorneys offer their services to the residents of Oklahoma City, as well as other cities like Tulsa, Midwest City and Chandler.
