If you are an individual filing for bankruptcy, you (or you and your spouse) have two options. You can choose to liquidate your assets to eliminate all of your debt through Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or you can retain some of your debt and pay it off in a consolidated repayment plan under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code.Under Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you will turn over all property that is considered non-exempt to the bankruptcy trustee who then liquidates the property to pay off creditors. Within roughly three to five months after filing for bankruptcy, you will receive a discharge of all dischargeable debts. Non-dischargeable debts, debts that will not be eliminated by bankruptcy, include taxes, student loans, child support and alimony, and a few other kinds of debts.Under Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, the trustee will assist in creating a plan by which you can pay off your debts over a period of three to five years. This is usually a great option for individuals who have non-exempt property that they want to keep, but also have a consistent income in order to continue to pay the debt.
If your business is struggling, we can work with you to restructure your company’s debt through settlement with creditors, to properly dissolve and reorganize so as to avoid personal liability, or to liquidate or restructure your debt through bankruptcy. Businesses can file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or under Chapter 11.A business can also file bankruptcy under Chapter 7 to liquidate all of its assets. The process is virtually the same as it is for an individual filing under Chapter 7.Under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, businesses are allowed to continue operating giving their owners a chance to pull out of the debt. This also gives the businesses’ creditors a chance to recover potentially more than they would receive than if the business was liquidated in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.Should you be considering any of these options for yourself or your business, the bankruptcy attorneys of O’Flaherty Law can help you navigate the complex collection and bankruptcy process to give yourself the fresh start you have been looking for.
