Understanding Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also referred to as liquidation bankruptcy. During this process, you’ll report all your debt information and income, and as soon as the bankruptcy filing begins, all secured and unsecured creditors must cease collection attempts. Cases

Bankruptcy cases filed by Palm Beach County residents are heard in the West Palm Beach Division of the Bankruptcy Court.

A bankruptcy trustee, that handles cases in the West Palm Beach Division will be assigned to your case, and will assess your personal property and gather your nonexempt valuable assets, such as a second vehicle or money in a savings account. The trustee may seek to sell off those assets to pay off as much of your debt as possible, and after this is complete, any eligible, unsecured debt that is not paid is discharged by the bankruptcy court. This means you are no longer responsible for paying these debts and creditors can no longer attempt to collect. From start to finish, the process takes between three and six months.
