Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy normally allows a person, or business, to eliminate debt in a quick and painless manner. It is the type of bankruptcy that grants the average American the ability to get a fresh start on their finances.
Commonly referred to as a "liquidation bankruptcy," Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a federal court process that liquidates a consumer's debts. Although this type of Bankruptcy eliminates most consumer debt, it also gives consumers the ability to retain assets, such as real estate, retirement accounts, and even cash, through exemptions.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
A chapter 13 bankruptcy is also called a wage earner's plan. It enables individuals with regular income to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts. Under this chapter, debtors propose a repayment plan to make installments to creditors over three to five years.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy differs from Chapter 7 bankruptcy because it doesn’t involve the liquidating of a person’s assets to settle debts. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is reserved for those with low incomes and who wouldn’t be able to sustainably pay off their debts.

Is Your Home Loan in Default?

There is still hope, however, and depending on your particular situation, you may benefit from a loan remodification, short sale, or deed in lieu of foreclosure.
