At Orlando Bankruptcy Law Firm, we understand the stressful circumstances you are experiencing when considering bankruptcy. It is never easy to file for bankruptcy because there are so many decisions to make. The law provides for several different types of bankruptcy, called chapters, because the provisions that govern them are contained in different chapters of the Bankruptcy Code. Knowing the basics is simply not enough because bankruptcy laws are complex and the majority of pro se cases (a debtor files their own petition) are dismissed because of the amount of errors made.

Chapter 7 is the bankruptcy provision most frequently used by individuals because it is usually the fastest and most straightforward form of bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, you will file a petition asking the court to discharge your debts. Chapter 7 involves a liquidation of your eligible assets to pay off creditors, although much of your property is likely to be protected and creditors may not be paid off in full from the proceeds of liquidation. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may wipe out most types of unsecured debt such as credit cards, personal loans, judgments resulting from car accidents, deficiencies on repossessed vehicles, and medical bills. You are allowed to keep your secured debt if you wish including your home, car, as long as you make the payments. and second purchases such as appliances, furniture, and jewelry, etc. as these debts are allowed to “pass through” bankruptcy without being affected. This process is called “reaffirmation”, because you are reaffirming the debt by saying to your creditors that you want to keep the debt and that you are responsible for paying the debt off without protection from bankruptcy. If you decide you do not want to keep certain secured debts, you can surrender the property and any debt associated with that surrender, such as a deficiency balance, or extra charges for returning the property in less than perfect condition, is forgiven completely.
In simple terms, the basic idea in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is to wipe out or discharge your debts in exchange for you giving up property, except for the exempt property, which the law allows you to keep. The goal of Chapter 7 bankruptcy is to eliminate your debt while allowing you to keep your home, your car, and your protected personal belongings. There are many exceptions under Florida law that are allowed and it is important to know that the determination of the exemptions you may qualify for can only be accomplished on a case-by-case basis.
