What Are My Bankruptcy Options?

Bankruptcy is the legal process through which an individual or business can repay or eliminate debt under the protection of the courts. While filing bankruptcy may seem like a daunting prospect and might feel like giving away your agency, in many cases, filing bankruptcy is the right thing to do financially. It can help turn a multitude of debts into manageable payments, structured with your ability to pay in mind.

Bankruptcy can also protect you from harassment, reducing the stress involved. The different types of workouts and bankruptcy are all tailored to specific situations and include:

  • Out-of-Court Workouts —
  • Chapter 7 — This form of bankruptcy is most commonly used by individuals and  results in exemption (i.e. retention) of some assets and the liquidation of any remaining non-exempt assets in order to pay off creditors in return for a discharge of most debts.
  • Chapter 11 — Used primarily by businesses that wish to continue operating through the bankruptcy process, this debt relief option establishes a court-approved plan for the restructuring of debt and reorganization of the business. Chapter 11 may be appropriate for certain individuals as well.
  • Subchapter V of Chapter 11 — Available to businesses or individuals involved in business with less than $7.5 million in total debt (but falling to less than $2,725,625 in total debt on March 27, 2021), this form of bankruptcy relief is a “fast track” process that establishes a court-approved plan that allows for treatment of debt through payments.
  • Chapter 12 — This form of bankruptcy gives fishermen and farmers who have a steady income a chance to manage their debts through repayment plans.
  • Chapter 13 — Often referred to as “wage earners’ bankruptcy,” this form of debt relief allows individuals with regular incomes to avoid liquidation by establishing a repayment plan, allowing them to keep valuable assets in the process.
