Chapter 7 bankruptcy includes the gathering and selling of the debtor’s nonexempt assets. Once the assets are collected and sold, the money is used to pay off the creditors. While claiming chapter 7 bankruptcy in West Palm Beach, FL the debtor is allowed to keep certain exempt property, but the remaining will be sold in accordance with the amount of debt. However, chapter 7 bankruptcy isn’t for everyone. It is important to note that if not filed correctly, chapter 7 bankruptcy in West Palm Beach, FL may result in the loss of property.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows the debtor the ability to pay off all of their debt over the course of three to five years. The downside to this option is that your credit during chapter 13 bankruptcy is non-existent.

Because a mortgage is a credit to the individual, they must continue to make payments on their home during bankruptcy in West Palm Beach, FL. Contact the professionals at Bruce S.
