After passing the means test (to ensure you do not make too much money to file) you can file under Chapter 7. This type of bankruptcy involves liquidating the debtor’s nonexempt assets and using the proceeds from this to pay off creditors. At the end of a successful Chapter 7 bankruptcy, all of the debtor’s eligible debts will be discharged, giving the debtor a fresh start.

Chapter 13 is a form of bankruptcy that involves reorganizing debt and creating a payment plan to pay a portion of this debt over a period of three to five years.
