If you have made the decision of filing bankruptcy, then the next important question is whether you should go for chapter 13 or chapter 7 bankruptcy. The chapter 7 rules make this bankruptcy a liquidation proceeding. In chapter 7 bankruptcy, you have to give in all your non-exempted property to the trustee appointed. These assets are then sold off by the trustee and turned into cash, which is then further distributed amongst the creditors. Thus making the debtor free from all those debts. In order to file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy you need to have a place where you reside, a property right here in the country and a place where you do your business. Another thing that all should know that with the six years of filing a chapter 13 bankruptcy you will not be allowed a Chapter 7. Neither can u file if your bankruptcy filing has been rejected in less than 180 days.

Now with so many applying for chapter 7 bankruptcy the court takes care that chapter 7 is not misused by the people. So a lot of care is taken to decide if you really need the bankruptcy chapter 7 and only then it is approved. Currently the most common reasons for filing personal bankruptcy seen are:

• Due to job losses.
• Due to huge medical expenditures.
• Due to divorces.
• Due to sudden expenditures.
• Due to exorbitant extended credit.
