Due to the potential negative consequences, it is vital to properly evaluate which bankruptcy chapter you fall under---Chapter 7(Liquidation) or Chapter 13(Debt Adjustment).

Chapter 7 will provide relief from payments on specific types of debt. It may delay the foreclosure process on your home or the repossession of a vehicle, and, it may allow you to negotiate with the creditor regarding payment. If you are current on your home or car payment, Chapter 7 can allow you to retain your home and car without issue.

With a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing, the foreclosure on a home or repossession of a vehicle may be prevented, and it may also allow you time to regain your footing with a repayment plan. The debts dischargeable under Chapter 13 are broader in scope. You may voluntarily file under Chapter 13, or the bankruptcy laws may dictate that you may not utilize Chapter 7, forcing you to file under Chapter 13. You are forced into a Chapter 13, generally, due to high income relative to the number of people in your household, or due to a previous Chapter 7 filing. Typical reasons to file a voluntary Chapter 13 are tax debt or a desire to keep assets you would be required to forfeit in a Chapter 7.
