Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be filed by an individual, a business or a partnership. For debtors filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy requires the liquidation of property in order to pay off debts. The Harmon Law Office points out the particular benefits of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Once a debtor files, the court issues an automatic stay so that collectors and creditors won’t be able to get in touch with the debtor or collect his or her belongings. Filing for Chapter 7 also allows the debtor to pay off his or her debt rather quickly- typically in about four to six months and helps him or her begin the long process of credit repair. In Arizona, a bankruptcy filing will remain on a debtor’s record for ten years but filing for chapter 7 helps begin the repairing process.
The Harmon Law Office also specializes in chapter 11 bankruptcy which is another option for business in debt or in a financial crisis. Filing chapter 11 means that the reorganization of a business and the handling of debt falls into the lap of the court. The court dictates which debts are priorities to pay off and will also decide how much a debtor pays off per month. The benefits of filing chapter 11 include gaining assistance with repaying debts.
