Types of Bankruptcies

In the State of Arkansas, you may be qualified to file for different types of bankruptcy, depending on your financial situation.

The two most common types of bankruptcies are:

• Chapter 7: This form of bankruptcy can cancel all your debts, but also may also force you to liquidate some or all of your property to repay creditors. It is often referred to as "liquidation bankruptcy," and you can only file for Chapter 7 if you don't quality for Chapter 13 and haven't obtained a bankruptcy discharge in the last six to eight years. Almost all types of debt can be eliminated via Chapter 7 bankruptcy except those involving child support, most tax debts, and student loans.
• Chapter 13: Want to protect your property? Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep your property, but pay back all or a specific amount of your debts over a certain time period. Since you end up repaying most of your debts at the end of Chapter 13, it is also referred to as reorganization bankruptcy. It may be ideal for you to file for this type of bankruptcy if you have the appropriate amount of income to meet payment obligations and your debt isn't considered too high.
