If you feel that bankruptcy is your best option, you definitely need an experienced bankruptcy attorney. Stay away from petition preparers, typing services or paralegals, remember that a man who acts as his own attorney has a fool for both a client and lawyer.

Know what your options are!

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, sometimes call a straight bankruptcy or personal bankruptcy is a liquidation proceeding. The debtor turns over all non-exempt property to the bankruptcy trustee who then converts it to cash for distribution to the creditors. The debtor receives a discharge of all dischargeable debts usually within four months. In the vast majority of cases the debtor has no assets that he would lose so Chapter 7 will give that person a relatively quick "fresh start".

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Chapter 11 is typically used for business bankruptcies and restructuring. It is not commonly used by individual consumers since it is far more complex and expensive to pursue. It allows businesses to reorganize themselves, giving them an opportunity to restructure debt and get out from under certain burdensome leases and contracts. Typically a business is allowed to continue to operate while it is in Chapter 11, although it does so under the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and its appointees.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is also known as a reorganization bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed by individuals who want to pay off their debts over a period of three to five years. This type of bankruptcy appeals to individuals who have non-exempt property that they want to keep. It is also only an option for individuals who have predictable income and whose income is sufficient to pay their reasonable expenses with some amount left over to pay off their debts.

Chapter 20 Bankruptcy

There really is no such thing as a Chapter 20 Bankruptcy. The term has been used when someone first files a chapter 7 bankruptcy and subsequently files a chapter 13. (13 + 7 = 20). Chapter 13 bankruptcies can be filed following a chapter 7 and within the 7 years following filing under certain circumstances.
