Understanding How the Bankruptcy Laws Apply to Your Situation
The bankruptcy laws are complex, and creditors have spread many myths about them in order to make people think they cannot wipe out their debts. Depending on the facts of each case, many types of debts can be discharged in bankruptcy. Some basic guidelines include:
- Unsecured debts such as credit card balances and medical bills can generally be wiped out in Chapter 7 bankruptcy or discharged over time through a Chapter 13 payment plan.
- Secured debts such as mortgages, home equity loans and car loans can be discharged if you do not want to keep the property that has been pledged as collateral.
- Liens that have been placed on your home, household goods or other personal property by a finance company or after a lawsuit judgment can be discharged.
