 Types of Bankruptcy
- Chapter 7 or "liquidation" bankruptcy discharges your legal obligation to pay most unsecured debts. You must meet eligibility requirements to file for Chapter 7.
- Chapter 13 or "Wage Earner's Plan" enables individuals and married couples with regular incomes to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts.

Chapter 13 offers individuals an opportunity to save their homes from foreclosure.
