The New Bankruptcy explains the benefits of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy. You'll learn that Chapter 7 bankruptcy will: wipe out credit card balances, utility bills, and more, protect property you need to work and live, take about four to six months to complete. Chapter 13 bankruptcy works by keeping creditors at bay while you: catch up on a house or car payment, pay off an overdue tax or support balance, pay less on other debt, such as credit cards and student loans.
