CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY
The type of bankruptcy most often associated with a “fresh start,” or Chapter 7 bankruptcy, allows debtors to wipe out certain debts (like credit card balances, personal loans, and medical bills) without paying into a monthly repayment plan. The debtor must agree to allow the individual responsible for overseeing the case (the bankruptcy trustee) to sell certain, “nonexempt” property. One job of the trustee is to distribute those funds to the creditors based on a priority ranking system. Typically, a debtor doesn’t have to relinquish any assets. You will be allowed to keep things that are necessary to continue work and maintaining a home, such as household furnishings, clothing, and some equity in your house and a vehicle. In many cases, chapter 7 filers can keep all of their property. Each state, including Ohio, determines what property its residents can keep.READ MORE >>CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is meant for people who have regular income or wish to protect property from being foreclosed or repossessed. With this type of bankruptcy, debtors must establish a repayment plan through the bankruptcy trustee and approved by the court. Typically, the debtor’s disposable income (money left over after reasonable living expenses are paid) is used to pay into a three- to five-year repayment plan. The length of plan is determined by the debtor’s income and amount of debt. READ MORE >>Frequently Asked Questions About Bankruptcy
