Choosing which method of bankruptcy to file is a decision that only the debtor can make. However with sound guidance from an experienced bankruptcy law firm like Fears | Nachawati Law Firm, you should be able to make the best decision for you.
Chapter 7 is a liquidation, literally meaning that a debtor's assets are liquidated to pay what they can to a creditor. A typical debtor in Texas can keep his/her house, car and possibly some other effects. The goal is to obtain a discharge at the conclusion of the bankruptcy to keep creditors at bay. Conversely a Chapter 13 is a repayment plan, in which a debtor that is financially able carves out a certain amount to pay creditors each month that is less than what is owed. This amount is agreed upon by the debtor, judge and creditor and approved by the trustee.
