New York Bankruptcy Attorney
INFORMATION ON BANKRUPTCY IN GENERAL
Bankruptcy is a legal tool available to people to relieve themselves of their debts and start fresh. There are two chapters of consumer bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 is appropriate for debtors with low income who are seeking to relieve themselves of most if not all of their obligations. Chapter 13 is appropriate for debtors with higher income and establishes a payment plan schedule to pay off certain priority creditors over a three to five year span. Determining which chapter of bankruptcy would work best for your situation, depends on your gross income, assets, expenses, and the amount and type of debt. You can discuss this further and any other questions you may have with the Bankruptcy Attorney, during your meeting.
