How Does Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Differ From Chapter 7?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is an asset-based form of debt relief in which your nonexempt assets are liquidated, or sold, by the bankruptcy trustee in order to pay creditors as much of what you owe as possible. By contrast, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is income-based, meaning that your creditors will be paid what you can afford to pay based on your income, minus fixed expenses and a reasonable living allowance.
Under Chapter 13, debtors get the relief they need through reorganization of their debts and the creation of a three- to five-year repayment plan by which those debts will be paid in full or in part. At the end of this period, the balance of any remaining unsecured debt is wiped away.
Some individuals don't qualify for either a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Diemer & Wei's San Jose bankruptcy attorneys can assist those debtors with an individual Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
