The main difference between Chapters 7 and 13 is that Chapter 13 debtors are required to come up with a three to five year repayment plan that will be supervised and facilitated by a court trustee as well as other agents of the court.
Chapter 7 debtors generally simply have fewer debts once they are discharged from their bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows debtors to simply wipe out many types of debt and start fresh with the ability to collect new debt, though depending on the type of credit they may have difficulty after completing Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The best thing to do is perform some of your own research and find a bankruptcy attorney that will guide you through the entire process. A good bankruptcy attorney will not only assist you in choosing which type of bankruptcy to file for, and guide you through the entire process, but will also help you rebuild your financial wellbeing and life.
You’ll work best with an attorney that has a good relationship with his or her clients. When you show up for your consultation, try to get a feel for how well you ca communicate with the prospective attorney. Is he or she open answering your questions?
Also, don’t pay for the consultation appointment in order to find out if a prospective attorney will work out. A good bankruptcy attorney will not charge you for a consultation.
