How Does Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Work?

Chapter 7 is often called a “liquidation” bankruptcy, but in most cases, people who file can keep the property that matters most to them, such as household goods, a vehicle, or even a home. 

The process works by discharging, or wiping out, certain unsecured debts. This includes credit card balances, medical bills, payday loans, and other unsecured obligations. Once these debts are discharged, you are no longer legally responsible for paying them back.

For many clients, Chapter 7 provides immediate relief from creditor harassment and wage garnishment and offers the chance to rebuild their financial lives without the crushing weight of debt.

The Benefits of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Filing Chapter 7 can provide several life-changing benefits, including:

  • Eliminating most unsecured debts, such as credit cards and medical bills.
  • Stopping collection actions and lawsuits from creditors.
  • Protecting your income from garnishment.
  • Relieving financial stress and providing peace of mind.
  • Providing a quicker recovery since most cases are completed in just a few months.

This process is designed to give honest people a second chance,  not to punish them.
