Types of Bankruptcy
Looking for different types of Arizona Bankruptcy?
Lerner and Rowe’s Arizona bankruptcy and debt consolidation team offers assistance with two different types of personal bankruptcy options:
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
When you fall below a certain income level, filing for a bankruptcy of the Chapter 7 variety can help you get rid of your unsecured debt including:
- Credit cards
- Bank loans
- Personal loans
- Certain tax debts
- Foreclosure or repossession deficiencies
- Judgments
You can also hit a financial reset button. Although a chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy, most chapter 7 debtors can keep most of their personal property and their homes.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
As a homeowner, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may allow you to get rid of a second mortgage and change loan terms for your automobile. It allows you to establish a repayment plan with creditors that is spread generally over three to five years. This option provides home owners that receive a monthly income the opportunity to keep their home. In chapter 13, debtors may be able to keep certain property that would otherwise be liquidated in a chapter 7 bankruptcy.
