Can I Be Discriminated Against For Filing Bankruptcy?
No. 11 U.S.C. § 525 prohibits governmental units and private employers from
discriminating against you because you filed a bankruptcy petition or
because you failed to pay a dischargeable debt.
|
 |
Chapter 7 is the most common form of
bankruptcy, and is usually used to discharge, or ‘wipe out’, your
unsecured debt such as credit cards; medical bills; most personal
loans; judgments; deficiencies on repossessed property, etc.
|
 |
Chapter 13 is usually used if you are seeking to protect property such
as a home, boat or automobile from collections and repossession.
Chapter 13 requires you to have some regular source of income, and
affords you an opportunity to repay any delinquent debt amounts over a
3 to 5 year period, while you are entitled to keep possession of the
property you are seeking to protect.
