Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - "Fresh Start"
Chapter 7 allows an individual to a make a fresh start by legally eliminating, or "discharging", debt. Filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate most, if not all, of your debts. It is a quick and powerful tool to put an end to financial stress, release financial obligations for unwanted real or personal property, and stop harassing creditor phone calls. Call to find out more about filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy or filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
While Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy, individuals are allowed to claim certain assets and properties as exempt. Most often the available exemptions allow individuals to retain assets and properties they wish to keep. When exemptions are insufficient for keeping desired assets, individuals can pursue Chapter 13, which also allows for significant debt elimination. Save your assets with an experienced bankruptcy lawyer.
