DebtStoppers has attorneys who are experts in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.

Chapter 7


Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to quickly discharge most unsecured debt, including credit cards, personal loans, medical bills, payday loans, and more. To file Chapter 7, you must pass a means test and complete a credit counseling course. DebtStoppers will help you with both.

Your attorney will also ensure you keep as many of your assets as possible. In fact, many of our clients find they can keep all of their assets even when they file Chapter 7. Your attorney will make sure you can utilize all the exemptions under federal and state law.

Ultimately, if your case is successful, your unsecured debt will be discharged and you’ll get a fresh start.

Chapter 13


Chapter 13 bankruptcy is frequently more complex than Chapter 7. Ultimately, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to reorganize your debt through a court-approved repayment plan that lasts for three to five years. Your attorney will help you make a compelling case and ensure the monthly payments are affordable. Once you successfully complete the repayment plan, your remaining eligible debt is discharged.

During the repayment plan, you will make one affordable monthly payment to the court trustee, and you will keep your assets. Chapter 13 is a powerful tool that helps people get back on their feet. If you have more debt than you can afford, Chapter 13 may be a good solution for you.
