Chapter 7: A "means test" is done to determine if the debtor has the means to
repay the debt. The test is based on household income as compared to median income in the state. "Exemptions"- the
law allows for the bankruptcy debtor to keep certain assets which are called exempt property. Assets that are not exempt under
the law are subject to liquidation but most cases filed under Chapter 7 are "no asset" cases. This means that there
are no assets held by the debtor to be liquidated because all of the debtor's assets are protected by law. "Secured"
debts and "unsecured debts" are treated differently. Secured debts (such as car loans and house mortgages) the debtor
chooses among three options, "reaffirmation", "redemption" or "surrender" . Unsecured debts
are discharged outright, typical unsecured debts are credit cards and other bills not secured by collateral. The debtor receives
a "final discharge" meaning there is no longer any legal obligation to re-pay the debts. Call for a free consultation
and means test analysis.
Chapter 13: This a a repayment plan. This is most often used because
the debtor's income or assets exceed the limits of a Chapter 7, so the debtor is given a repayment plan normally lasting three
years. The debtor pays into the plan each month and a "trustee" selected by the court distributes the funds to the
creditors. The debtor has to pay off part of his debts. This chapter may be used when a debtor does not qualify for a Chapter
7. Also, for debtor's who are in foreclosure and cannot pay off the mortgage arrears , this chapter provides a re-payment
plan of the back payments. You will still have to be able to make your current monthly mortgage payments as part of the chapter
13 re-payment plan.
