Understanding Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
There's a lot of confusion about Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and many people harbor misconceptions. Some believe it's only for people who have made irresponsible financial decisions. Others think it means losing everything they own. At Hands Law, we want to dispel these myths and help you see how Chapter 7 can actually provide a much-needed lifeline. It's essential that you have the right information to make informed decisions about your financial future.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a legal way to clear most of your debts and make a fresh financial start. Unlike Chapter 13, which involves setting up a repayment plan, Chapter 7 eliminates eligible debts entirely.
Here are some key points about Chapter 7:
- Eliminates unsecured debts
- Quick process (four to six months)
- No debt limits
- Requires passing a means test

What Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Cannot Do
While Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be a great tool for wiping out many debts and beginning anew financially, it's important to keep in mind that it's not a magical solution. Bankruptcy laws have been created to offer relief within certain boundaries and may not address every financial issue you face. Being informed about these limitations can help you have realistic expectations as you embark on this journey.
Some limitations of filing a Chapter 7 include the following:
- Eliminate all types of debt - Debts like student loans, child support, and recent tax obligations usually remain after filing.
- Protect co-signers - If someone has co-signed on a loan, they could still be held responsible for the debt.
- Avoid secured credit obligations - If you have debts secured by collateral, such as a car or home loan, the lender might still repossess or foreclose on the property unless payments resume.
- Immediately rebuild your credit - Filing for bankruptcy will affect your credit score and report for up to a decade, which can impact your ability to obtain new credit.
- Solve underlying financial habits - Bankruptcy doesn’t address the behaviors that may have led to your financial challenges, so it's essential to seek resources and support for better financial management.
We aim to provide you with a clear understanding of what Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves and its potential impact. Our team at Hands Law is here to guide you through the process and provide any additional explanations you need during a personal consultation.
