Consumer Bankruptcy Law: Chapter 7

Introduction

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes called “liquidation” bankruptcy. It cancels most types of debt. Most people who use Chapter 7 get to keep all their property, but if you have too much, the bankruptcy trustee will liquidate (sell) your nonexempt property for the benefit of your creditors.
