Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Lawyers Help You Get Debt Discharged

Chapter 7 bankruptcy, often referred to as “liquidation bankruptcy,” offers a swift and effective way to eliminate most unsecured debts, such as credit card bills, medical expenses, and personal loans.

How Chapter 7 Works:

  • You file a petition with the bankruptcy court.
  • An automatic stay is issued, stopping creditor harassment.
  • Your assets are assessed, and most are protected by Florida’s generous exemptions.
  • Non-exempt assets may be liquidated to partially repay creditors.
  • Most of your debts are discharged, giving you a clean slate.

Benefits of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy:

  • Eliminates most unsecured debts: Discharge debt and regain control of your finances.
  • Stops creditor harassment: Enjoy immediate relief from collection calls and lawsuits.
  • Protects most assets: Florida’s exemptions allow you to keep your home, car, and other essentials.
  • Quick process: Most Chapter 7 cases are completed in a few months.

Who Qualifies for Chapter 7?

To qualify for Chapter 7, your income must fall below certain thresholds or pass a means test. Our attorneys can assess your eligibility and guide you through the process.

Florida’s Generous Exemptions: Protecting Your Assets

Florida’s bankruptcy exemptions are among the most generous in the nation. They can protect your home, car, retirement accounts, personal belongings, and more from liquidation. This allows you to rebuild your life without sacrificing your most valuable assets.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Repay Debts With an Affordable Payment Plan

Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as “reorganization bankruptcy,” is designed for individuals with regular income who want to keep their assets while repaying their debts over time.

How Chapter 13 Works:

  • You file a petition with the court and propose a repayment plan.
  • The plan typically lasts 3-5 years.
  • You make monthly payments to a trustee, who distributes the funds to your creditors.
  • Upon completing the plan, your remaining dischargeable debts are erased.

Benefits of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy:

  • Save your home from foreclosure: Chapter 13 can stop foreclosure and allow you to catch up on missed mortgage payments.
  • Protect your assets: Florida’s exemptions apply in Chapter 13 as well, safeguarding your property.
  • Restructure your debts: Consolidate debts and potentially reduce interest rates or balances.
  • Stop creditor harassment: The automatic stay provides immediate relief from collection efforts.

Who Should Consider Chapter 13?

Chapter 13 is suitable for individuals who have a steady income but are struggling to keep up with debt payments. It’s also a good option if you have valuable assets you want to protect or non-dischargeable debts you need to address.
