Two Common Types of Bankruptcy and How They Work

  Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a common type of bankruptcy because it is the fastest type to accomplish. In this form of bankruptcy, your non-essential assets are sold to pay off your debts. Through the overseeing of a court-appointed trustee, all assets besides your home, car, furniture and clothing will be sold. The trustee has the power to absolve you of some debts, but will also work to make sure and get as much payment for your creditors as possible. In most cases, this type of bankruptcy is accomplished in six months or less.

*   Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is another type of bankruptcy you can file for. In this type, you are not required to liquidate your property, but you will need to make a monthly payment through the court. The amount you pay each month will be dispersed among your creditors, so your debt can be paid off. Most people are able to pay off their debts in a period of three to seven years.

If you are dealing with more debt than you can handle and have tried other methods of getting out of your debt, bankruptcy may be an option for you.
