FAQ
In both cases, the bankruptcy court can discharge certain debts. Once a debt has been discharged, the creditor can no longer take action against the debtor, such as attempting to collect the debt or seize any collateral. Not all debts can be discharged, however, and some are very difficult to get discharged.
Chapter 7 is the most common type of bankruptcy and is often referred to as a straight bankruptcy. Under Chapter 7, you can eliminate most of your unsecured debts and some secured debts by surrendering your assets. Unsecured debts are debts not secured with collateral, including most personal loans and credit cards.
The potential disadvantages of bankruptcy include: Loss of credit cards. Many credit card companies automatically cancel any cards you hold when you file. You will probably receive numerous offers to apply for unsecured credit cards after filing.
Bankruptcy is a legal status that usually lasts for a year and can be a way to clear debts you can't pay. When you're bankrupt, your non-essential assets (property and what you own) and excess income are used to pay off your creditors (people you owe money to). At the end of the bankruptcy, most debts are cancelled.
