What is filing bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is a legal tool individuals and companies use when they are no longer able to repay debits. In the United States their are two sorts of personal bankruptcy. 1) Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, or reorganization Bankruptcy lets an individual work with their creditors to pay back debts without the threat of foreclosure or harassment. This lets someone do the right thing and pay people back. 2) Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a more extreme step. During Chapter 7 one continues to make essential payments while paying nothing to other creditors. Next, all assets are liquidated and distributed to creditors.
What does bankruptcy do to you?
Personal bankruptcy can do two things. 1) Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, or reorganization Bankruptcy lets an individual work with their creditors to pay back debts without the threat of foreclosure or harassment. This lets someone do the right thing and pay people back. 2) Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a more extreme step. During Chapter 7 one continues to make essential payments while paying nothing to other creditors. Next, all assets are liquidated and distributed to creditors. Bankruptcy is the really last resort and only you know whether you go to this route. I have filed bankruptcy and it worked well because of the help from the financial advices. http://freshstartsolutions.com.au/bankruptcy/ It is really important to seek an advice before making decisions.
In chapter 13 bankruptcy do you have to pay your unsecured creditors 100 percent?
NO. Bankruptcy proceedings are used because you are not capable of paying 100% of your debts (otherwise your bankruptcy claim will be rejected by the court), and unsecured debts have greater chance of a lower amount of directed settlement from the bankruptcy trustee's work than secured debts (or certain excepted unsecured debts). Note that there is an excellent perspective book both about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy: "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition (published in 2009 by Nolo), by Stephen Elias (a bankruptcy attorney). In the public library system for Colorado Springs, I found it at 346.078 E42N (Dewey decimal system).
