A Wisconsin Involuntary Petition Against an Individual is a document used by creditors to force an individual into bankruptcy. This document is filed with the court, and it seeks a court order to force the individual to pay back a debt. It is typically used when an individual is unable to pay off a debt and the creditor is unable to obtain payment through other means. There are two types of Wisconsin Involuntary Petition Against an Individual: a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition and a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, the court orders the individual to sell off non-exempt assets to pay off their debt. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition, the court sets up a payment plan for the individual to pay off their debt over a period of time. The Wisconsin Involuntary Petition Against an Individual must be filed with the court, along with the required documents. Once it is filed, the individual must be served with the documents and given the opportunity to respond. If the individual does not respond, or if their response is unsatisfactory, the court will grant the creditor's petition and the individual will be forced into bankruptcy.
