Is Debt Controlling Your Life?
One conversation may be all it takes to take control of your situation.

Chapter 7
One of the most common types of bankruptcy. Chapter 7 allows you to liquidate your assets in order to pay back your debts. In some cases, you may not have to liquidate your assets and you may be able to keep everything you have and just discharge your debt.
Chapter 11
Chapter 11 bankruptcy can give businesses and individuals a chance to “reorganize” their debts and may allow businesses to continue operations.
Chapter 11 Subchapter V
The small business or personal bankruptcy provides businesses and individuals with a simplified and cost-effective way to reorganize their finances. There are special qualifications to file this particular chapter in bankruptcy and you can find out during your consultation if this process will work for you.
Chapter 13
Chapter 13 bankruptcy can give individuals a chance to repay their debts over a 3-5 year period and may save properties from foreclosure. This type of bankruptcy may also allow a restructuring of your debt to pay more important debt first (like taxes) and unsecured creditors (like credit cards) after the taxes.

Bankruptcy is a legal proceeding that helps a person or business who is unable to pay their debts by eliminating or reorganizing the debts. Depending on the type of bankruptcy, and the ruling of the filing, and other considerations, debtors may have an opportunity to get a clean slate when it comes to their financial obligations, or the opportunity to repay the debts in a more affordable fashion. While getting a discharge on debts may seem like a favorable escape from a financial problem, it’s important to consult with a tax professional who can help determine if bankruptcy is right for your situation.
Each situation is different and it depends on the goals of your bankruptcy plan, along with the assets you have and want to keep. But generally, debtors who have filed for bankruptcy may still be responsible for some tax liens, personal injury debts, as well as alimony and child support. The total effect on your credit varies from case to case.
To be eligible for a Subchapter V bankruptcy, the debtor must have a combined total secured and unsecured debt of less than $7,500,000, and not less than 50% of which arose from the commercial or business activities of the debtor. This debt ceiling of $7.5 million is part of a COVID-relief act that will remain in effect until June 21, 2024.
