Deciding to File for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13

Chapter 7, also known as “straight bankruptcy” or “liquidation”, is total and complete bankruptcy filed by an individual to wipe out most unsecured debt. It is the most common form of bankruptcy and can stay on your credit report for up to ten years.

Some people choose to file Chapter 7 because ideally, it gives you a “fresh start” and a chance to rebuild your credit right away. This is unlike Chapter 13, which allows individuals to repay their debt over a three to five year period. Usually, people who file under Chapter 13 do so because they make enough income to pay up on their debts and thereby, don’t qualify for Chapter 7.
