Understanding the Types of Bankruptcy

Your first decision is to determine which types of bankruptcy best apply to your situation. Businesses navigate the availability of business or commercial bankruptcies.

Individuals and married couples file for consumer bankruptcy. Farmers qualify for agricultural bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 (Liquidation) Bankruptcy: Discharges unsecured debt, such as credit cards and personal loans.
Chapter 11 Bankruptcy: Small businesses, larger businesses, and corporations use this bankruptcy option to reorganize with a debt repayment plan. Repayment keeps people from shutting down or selling their business.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Develop a reorganization plan that protects your home from foreclosure and gives you up to 5 years to repay missed payments. Debt reduction plans help lower the percentage of debt you owe.

Several factors go into deciding which bankruptcy suits your needs. A means test examines whether your income meets North Carolina's legal requirements. It's determined if you have the financial means to make payments on the debt you owe.

Our bankruptcy attorneys evaluate the limits in relation to your income and debt. State-specific limits may help protect your property from foreclosure.
