Who Is a Candidate for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

  • People who have had a significant loss of income such as a job loss or loss of child support or alimony
  • People who have a large amount of unsecured debt such as high credit card bills or medical bills

What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing (also called liquidation) completely eliminates most unsecured debts, such as credit card bills, medical bills and court judgments. When those debts are gone, many people find they can manage their car and home payment. It does not eliminate every debt. See our page on the details of Chapter 7 bankruptcy for more information.

What can Chapter 7 Bankruptcy do for You?

  • Stop creditor harassment and wage garnishment.
  • Stop collection proceedings against you.
  • Stop home foreclosure proceedings temporarily or permanently.
  • Stop repossession of cars or other possessions by allowing you to become current on your payments.
