CHOOSING THE TYPE OF BANKRUPTCY BEST FOR YOU

When faced with foreclosure, homeowners and businesses do have options on the table. Different types of bankruptcy offer different benefits.

Chapter 7 bankruptcies entail selling a business or assets in order to repay your creditors. A benefit is that an automatic stay, or immediate halt to collections, will be put in place. That means lawsuits against you are stopped and collection agencies, government entities and creditors must halt their collection activities. It can also prevent eviction from your home and provide for some added time to resolve intricate financial matters.


For businesses in Ohio, filing Chapter 11 can mean keeping the business afloat and a reorganization of debt. It also includes an automatic stay and can allow time to restructure or renegotiate leases.


In Chapter 13 bankruptcies, past-due payments are set up on a three- or five-year repayment plan, which gives you more time to get finances in order and make your payments on time. This form of bankruptcy is usually beneficial to people who are earning income but still cannot completely avoid the threat of foreclosure.
