What are the various type of bankruptcies?
Chapter 7 is the most severe, can be used by all individuals and businesses. All unsecured debts are terminated, and are paid if any money remains after secured creditors are paid and after various exemptions permitted by law are claimed by debtors. Chapter 13 is typically used by wage earners and small businesses; this delays and reduces amount of payments to creditors over a period of time; this is known as a Chapter 13 Plan, or an individual reorganization. Chapter 11 is used by larger businesses, and resembles a Chapter 13, with may more requirements. If all a debtor needs, is a plan to pay off debts, then a Chapter 13 or Chapter 11 is preferable, rather than a Chapter 7, particularly when trying to reestablish their credit worthiness.
