Chapter 7 bankruptcy law:

The main goal under any filing in bankruptcy is to give one who is burdened with debt a fresh start. A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is the most common form of bankruptcy filing, accounting for over 65% of all consumer bankruptcy filings.

A filing under Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often called liquidation or a straight bankruptcy. Liquidation converts one's assets to money. This process involves the appointment of a trustee, who collects all non-exempt property, sells the assets and then distributes the proceeds from the sale to the appropriate creditors. However, unlike Chapter 13 Bankruptcy filings, a debtor does not make payments to the trustee.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy law:

Although not exclusively limited to businesses, Chapter 11 bankruptcy is generally most suitable for businesses that are attempting to restructure financial obligations. Unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy, where the goal is to sell all of the assets and eliminate outstanding debt obligations, Chapter 11 bankruptcy is appropriate when the business wants to reorganize its debts in a manner that will allow it to continue operating.

After filing a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the debtor usually continues to operate the business. Although much of the business property may be subject to liens, creditors cannot repossess the property. Additionally, business owners can continue to sell property that remains unencumbered. For more information about Chapter 11 bankruptcy, speak with an experienced bankruptcy attorney today.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy law:

A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy allows the debtor to keep all of their property. However, an interest-free plan for repayment must be developed and approved by the court. The debtor begins to make payments within thirty to forty-five days after the case has begun. Unlike Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the payments are made to the trustee who will then pay the appropriate creditors. Chapter 13 bankruptcy prevents creditors from collecting from the debtor. The creditors are required by law to strictly follow the terms of the repayment plan.

Expungement law:

Expungement of a record means that a criminal record is wiped from the slate. As a result, expungement makes the crime as if it never occurred. By successfully getting an expungement, each law enforcement agency will destroy their records of the crime. Although some people confuse the two, expungement differs from getting a record sealed. By getting a record sealed, the file will remain intact but can only be released to other law enforcement agencies, so employers and other people cannot get access to the record but is not completely erased like with an expungement.
