Directed by the federal bankruptcy court system, Bankruptcy is a federal law option that provides debtors burdened with unresolvable debt to seek financial relief. As a legal proceeding, several options can be taken, whether it is to completely remove the debts or to plan a specific solution to repay the debt over time. Debts can be secured or unsecured depending on whether they have collateral attached to them.
However, not all debts are dischargeable. Some of these include student loans, domestic support obligations, child support, alimony, and specific taxes. Others that cannot be claimed for bankruptcy include recent income taxes, payroll tax, domestic support obligations, DUI claims, and any criminal penalties.
There are several types of bankruptcy actions that are available. One is a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which is essentially liquidating some or all of one’s unsecured debts. Another is a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is organizing a payment plan in agreement to a specific time span to the creditors. While these methods are available, individuals should consider out-of-court options such as some form of settlement or negotiation with creditors before filing bankruptcy, which is typically reported as a last resort decision. Once a bankruptcy is filed, the debtor has to follow the legal procedure by preparing documental evidence and appearing in court. Future consequences could also entail a reduction in the debtor’s credit report, which could influence any subsequent borrowing.
