Bankruptcy Options

1. Do Nothing
If you have few assets and your source of income won’t allow a creditor access to your wages, doing nothing maybe your best option. In this case, you are most likely judgment proof, meaning that creditors will not be able to get a judgment to garnish your income.
2. Encourage Creditors to Agree to a Settlement Eliminating Your Need to File Bankruptcy
If you only have a creditor or two but owe them a substantial amount, this may be your best option. Most creditors would instead settle for part of the debt than risk a bankruptcy situation where they would receive nothing.
3. Take Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
This will allow you to start over with a zero balance to your creditors, but this liquidation form of bankruptcy means you could be left with few assets. Your trustee can take all or some of your property and other assets and sell them to pay off your debt. However, exemptions and exceptions may be used to preserve your assets while eliminating your debt.
4. Take Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
This form of bankruptcy allows you to eliminate debt without losing everything that matters to you. It will preserve some of your assets. Usually, you and your attorney will work out a plan to be approved by the Court, to pay back your creditors, for less than the whole amount.
