BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO FILE, THINK ABOUT THE ALTERNATIVES TO BANKRUPTCY

Bankruptcy should be the last resort to getting out of debt. It will stay on your credit report for up to 10 years, guaranteeing that you will receive higher than normal interest rates on future financing close to the bankruptcy filing. Some debts will remain anyway such as recent IRS debt, student loan debt and debt incurred through fraud just to name a few. Bankruptcy may be better for someone who has little income, extremely high liabilities and no realistic way of paying those liabilities back within a reasonable time period.

There are two basic types of Bankruptcy proceedings. The most common types of personal bankruptcy for individuals are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Of the two common forms of bankruptcy, one is a reorganization bankruptcy and the other is a liquidation bankruptcy. Individuals may enter a reorganization bankruptcy in order to retain assets and pay off reduced creditor claims out of the individual’s income. Reorganization is most commonly known as Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. In the US, liquidation is known as Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, which refers to the chapter of the bankruptcy law that allows your assets to be sold off (liquidated) to pay creditors.
