Chapter 7, or liquidation bankruptcy, means that your assets (or your estate) – are sold to pay off your creditors.

A reorganization bankruptcy can also involve the selling of assets, but more often than not you can retain a majority of your assets while your creditors’ needs are assessed.

Reorganization bankruptcies can be filed under the following guidelines:

  • Chapter 11 – businesses and individuals with many assets
  • Chapter 13 – individuals with steady income

A business or an individual can declare bankruptcy once they have ascertained that it has become impossible to pay off one’s creditors.  Filing Bankrutpcy can give you a chance to start over from a financial point of view, as most of debts are relieved after bankruptcy as been filed.
