NEW YORK BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY

How is bankruptcy a form of debt relief?

When it comes to finding relief from overwhelming debt, the Law Office of Simon Goldenberg, PLLC is dedicated to helping clients find the best way to find relief. Bankruptcy is one means of debt relief that few people want to think about; however, in some situations it could be the most efficient means of obtaining a fresh financial start. The U.S. Bankruptcy Code offers consumers two ways to find debt relief through bankruptcy: liquidation bankruptcy and reorganization bankruptcy.

Types of Consumer Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code is known as liquidation bankruptcy because anyone who qualifies must liquidate any nonexempt assets - sometimes their home or car - to repay as much of their debt as possible before the rest is discharged. Consumers can only qualify for Chapter 7 if they pass the means test, proving that their income is insufficient to afford any form of repayment. Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code allows a consumer to negotiate a repayment plan with his or her creditors. Over the next three to five years, the consumer continues to make payments on the debt, after which time the remainder is discharged.
