Know Your Rights

Understanding your legal situation is the first step to protecting your rights and getting fair compensation.

1

Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 — Which Is Right for You?

Chapter 7 liquidates eligible debt in ~90 days for those who pass the means test. Chapter 13 sets up a 3–5 year repayment plan, allowing you to keep assets like your home or car. An attorney determines which fits your situation.

2

What Bankruptcy Can and Cannot Discharge

Bankruptcy can eliminate credit card debt, medical bills, personal loans, and some older tax debts. It cannot discharge student loans (in most cases), child support, alimony, or recent tax debts.

3

The Automatic Stay — Immediate Debt Relief

The moment you file, an automatic stay halts most collection actions — foreclosure, wage garnishment, creditor calls, and lawsuits. This immediate protection is one of bankruptcy's most powerful tools.
