Financial Resource: Beginner Investing to Financial Independence!

There are two types of consumer bankruptcy.  Each is intended to help consumers in financial crisis, but the solutions offered are very different. Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy offer different forms of protection.  If you’re facing a financial crisis, a local bankruptcy attorney can help you determine whether Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be the right answer for you.

Generally speaking, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is intended to wipe the slate clean by discharging unsecured debt—debts like credit card debt, medical bills, and unsecured loans.  Chapter 13 bankruptcy, on the other hand, is intended to give a debtor time to catch up past due payments over a period of 3-5 years, while keeping secured property like houses and cars.

Since the bankruptcy law change in 2005, there have been a lot of misunderstandings about bankruptcy.  For instance, many people have been led to believe that almost no one can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy anymore. That’s simply not true.  Although the new bankruptcy law that took effect in October, 2005 added some hoops for debtors to jump through, consumer bankruptcy attorneys and credit counseling agencies have found from the beginning that the Chapter 7 means test actually prevents very few debtors from filing under Chapter 7.  In fact, some credit counseling agencies have said that by the time most debtors come to them for the newly-required pre-filing credit counseling, they have no other realistic option!  The safet net of bankruptcy is still available to most consumers in financial crisis.
