What is Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Ch. 7 bankruptcy is your right as a U.S. citizen!

Ch. 7 refers to a portion of the U.S. bankruptcy code that deals with liquidation. If you’re overcome by unsecured debts such as credit cards, medical bills, personal loans or wage garnishments, you’re probably a good candidate for Ch. 7. Also known as “straight” or “liquidation” bankruptcy, Ch. 7 is the most common form of bankruptcy in the U.S. It’s also the fastest way to get out of unsecured debts. In some cases, debts can be discharged in just a few months!

Here are some of the most common debts Ch. 7 can eliminate:

  • Credit card debt
  • Utility bills
  • Medical bills
  • Many types of personal loans
  • IRS debt
  • Payday loans
  • Wage garnishments
