Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: The Options
Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically applies to individuals who wish to discharge or get rid of most or all of their current debts to eliminate the burden of high monthly payments from financial obligations that are increasingly difficult to pay down. Examples of these debts include:
- Credit cards
- Personal loans
- Medical bills
- Auto repo
- Outstanding utility bills
- Older taxes
Such individuals pass the means test or income test for eligibility. Recent changes in New York State law provide further protection in maintaining your property while at the same time extinguishing debt in this type of bankruptcy.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy applies to individuals who do not qualify for Chapter 7 because they do not pass the means test and need to reorganize debt when income is too high. It also applies for those individuals who need to protect assets (for example automobiles, houses, condos, co-ops, or land), and where Chapter 7 will not provide adequate protection or exemptions in accomplishing this goal. A Chapter 13 provides the legal structure for you to reorganize your debt where a Trustee appointed by the Court will disburse monies in a plan to your creditors in a manner that is generally significantly more favorable than arrangements made outside of the bankruptcy process.
