Question:
What are the differences between chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Answer:
Every time I meet with a client, I explain to them the differences between the chapters in bankruptcy. The most typical chapters for an individual are Chapter 7 and 13. In a nutshell, Chapter 7 involves the surrender of assets to discharge debt. Not everybody who files a Chapter 7 has assets to surrender, so it could be a very good thing for them to file a Chapter 7 case. By contrast, a Chapter 13 involves a payment plan, typically three to five years.
