What is a bankruptcy discharge?
It releases the Debtor from personal liability for
discharged debts. Thus, it prevents the creditors owed those debts from
taking any action against the Debtor to collect the debts. Most, but not
all, types of debts are discharged if they existed on the date the
bankruptcy case was filed and were listed on the schedules. Bankruptcy
law regarding the scope of a discharge is complex, and Debtors should
consult competent legal counsel prior to filing.

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.
