What is bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is a legal process of debt resolution that begins once a debtor declares that he or she does not have enough money to pay off the amount owed in the specified time period. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, debtors have the option of liquidating their non-exempt assets and using the money to pay off secured debts. Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, debtors reorganize their repayments plans to require smaller payments over longer periods of time.
