What Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often called “straight bankruptcy” and it is the simplest and most common type of bankruptcy for individuals. This is often the most effective debt relief solution for individuals and families who earn lower incomes and have little to no equity in their valuable assets. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is not a cure-all, nor does it involve the creation of a payment plan. Most people who file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy do not lose any assets. Not everyone is eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; an income-driven test is currently used to determine eligibility. However, people who are ineligible for Chapter 7 due to their higher income, may still be eligible for Chapter 13, which is another common type of bankruptcy filing.
