what is bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is relief you need to consider if you are having a hard time paying bills, or even worse, if you are no longer able to make all of your payments. Bankruptcy is a remedy under federal law and guaranteed to you by the United States Constitution. Normally, a contract is made and the parties are expected to perform accordingly. If they do not perform, harassing calls, threatening letters, lawsuits, repossessions or foreclosures may result. When, for whatever reason, you cannot continue to perform your obligations, you can consider bankruptcy relief. Bankruptcy is an attempt to make the best of what has become a bad situation.
Bankruptcy gives you relief from your creditors in two different ways. First, Chapter 7 allows you to discharge your debts (that is, not repay them) to get a complete fresh financial start. Second, if you want to repay your debts, but need time to do so, Chapter 13 allows you to repay your debts at a rate you can afford.
In almost all cases you keep all of your possessions – house, car, furniture and personal items. And best of all, you are no longer bothered by creditors when you file either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
There are other types of bankruptcy, each referred to by a Chapter number, but most consumers use only Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
