WHAT IS BANKRUPTCY
Bankruptcy is a Federal Law that allows individuals in debt to discharge his or her liabilities
in order to reestablish their credit and regain control of their lives. The two primary types
of Bankruptcy for individuals are the Chapter 7 (Fresh Start/Liquidation) and the Chapter 13
(Repayment Plan). The attorneys at Barr, Jones & Associates LLP have extensive experience handling
both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases.
CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy allows people to immediately eliminate their debt without making payments. It
provides people with a financial fresh start. It is a relatively quick process with only one brief
court hearing. Individuals have to qualify for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy based on income levels. In most
cases individuals are able to keep their homes, cars and retirements while filing for bankruptcy protection.
CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy allows people with higher income levels to file for bankruptcy protection by making
monthly payments to the bankruptcy court in order to pay down debt. The debt is often paid down at
reduced balances and lowered interest rates.
