How Does Bankruptcy Work?
Bankruptcy is a legal process designed to help consumers obtain relief from debt they can't afford to repay while also ensuring that creditors receive some payment based on the borrower's financial situation and assets.
Once you file for bankruptcy, your creditors must halt all collection attempts, including things like foreclosure, repossession and wage garnishment. That said, only certain types of debt can be included in bankruptcy—more on that in a minute.
Depending on which type of bankruptcy you choose—Chapter 7 or Chapter 13—you may need to repay a portion of what you owe based on your financial situation and assets. All remaining debt will be discharged, meaning you no longer have an obligation to pay it—and creditors can no longer attempt to collect.
Although you can technically file for bankruptcy on your own, it often makes sense to enlist the help of a bankruptcy attorney who can help you determine which type of bankruptcy is right for you, guide you through the process and act as your representative in the proceedings.
