Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is the most common of the two chapters available to an individual. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will eliminate or wipe out all of your unsecured debt, such as credit card bills, utility bills, medical bills, auto repossessions or a short fall on a home lost to foreclosure or short sale. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy will also immediately stop all legal actions such as foreclosure, wage garnishments, auto repossessions and much more. Determining whether you qualify for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can be a complicated process. Call an experienced bankruptcy attorney in New Bedford, MA & Fall River, MA today!
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is often referred to as a “court ordered repayment plan.” A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is mainly used in two situations:
1. If you are facing a foreclosure on your New Bedford home, a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can stop the pending foreclosure and will allow you 3 to 5 years to catch up on missing payments.
2. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy can also provide a repayment plan for other debts including: unsecured debt, taxes, and child support. Like a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy will also immediately stop all legal actions such as lawsuits, foreclosure, auto repossessions, wage garnishments and attachments by the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Revenue.
