This type of bankruptcy is not available to everyone. There are financial and asset restrictions that must be considered prior to filing. When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, it essentially freezes the creditors ability to collect from you. The moment the bankruptcy petition is filed a creditor may not contact you, your property may not be repossessed, and your home may not be foreclosed on. This is called an “automatic stay.” After the court receives your petition, a Trustee is assigned to your case. Their main purpose in a Chapter 7 is to liquidate the assets that are not protected by exemptions, and pay back some of the debt. You and your attorney (preferably one from Hill & Rainey) will attend a 341 hearing. This is an informal meeting where the assigned Trustee will ask you a series of questions. At the conclusion of a Chapter 7, your debt is discharged and you get a fresh start financially. This type of bankruptcy works best for individuals who do not own property or substantial assets.
