Your Bankruptcy Options

Many people don’t realize that bankruptcy takes many forms. From Chapter 7 to Chapter 13, our team is ready to listen to your unique situation and advise you on the best solution for you.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Also known as “liquidation bankruptcy,” Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows debtors to sell any non-exempt assets and use the funds to pay back their creditors. Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not mean you’ll be forced to forfeit everything you own. Property such as equity in your home or motor vehicles can be considered exempt from liquidation.

If you lack access to a steady income and need to pay off items such as medical bills or credit card debt, Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be the answer for you. Learn more about the filing process and all it entails by reaching out to our team at Harris-Courage, PLLC.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

If your income is deemed too high to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a great way to seek financial relief. Often called “reorganization bankruptcy,” it involves committing to a repayment plan in which you make monthly payments to your creditors. Most plans are set for anywhere from three to five years, after which your remaining debts may be discharged.

Setting up a debt repayment plan can protect both your property and yourself from creditor harassment. If you’re considering filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, set up an appointment with us today at any of our Syracuse-area locations.
