Difference between Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 bankruptcy
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a direct Bankruptcy which people can waive their debts. This type of bankruptcy will help you eliminate all debts except for student loans, child support obligations, some tax bills, and criminal fines; and you can keep most, if not all, of your assets, including your home and car.
Unlike chapter 7, chapter 13 bankruptcy is for people with a regular source of income, giving them a chance to pay off all or part of the outstanding debt through a regular payment plan. This enables the debtor to settle payments over three to five years. Chapter 13 is commonly used to save a house that is in foreclosure.
