Over my last posts, we discussed the bankruptcy regimes in the United States up to the Chandler Act of 1938. It is worth taking a moment to plot the policy concerns over those periods.

Not everyone is eligible to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy. There are income requirements to filing a chapter 7 and those individuals that do not meet the income requirements, will not be able to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy. But, even those that do meet the eligibility requirements to file a chapter 7, may find the outcome of filing a chapter 7 disagreeable. While chapter 7 filings are effective vehicles for discharging unsecured debt and they are short in duration, there are times when even those eligible for a chapter 7 bankruptcy may choose to file a chapter 13 instead.

A chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan is not designed to be easy but it is almost always worth the effort. This is due to the fact that a person who files a chapter 13 bankruptcy case (aka the debtor) gets to keep all of their property, is protected from the direct collection efforts of their creditors (absent limited circumstances), and usually pays back only a fraction of their debt before receiving a discharge of any remaining debt at the end of the plan.  

Have you ever wondered what life could be like without overwhelming debt? It is possible to get your life back by filing Chapter 7 or 13 Bankruptcy. When you have unwanted debt, your finances are sick, you are not. Your finances need to take a shot of medicine and become healthy again. Money is not your life. Debt is not your life. And yet, debt can have tragic effects on the quality of your life.

   If you find yourself knee deep in debt, you are not alone. Each, year, thousands and thousands of Minnesotans just like you and I end up with overwhelming debt and the need to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Hitting the reset button on your financial life is not as hard as you think. Once you wrap your mind around the “b” word, the actual process of filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is no so difficult to tolerate.

Life is so humbling. Your best plans can go awry, quickly. I mean, who among us hopes when you get married, your marriage will be a failure? Who among us wishes for our business venture to turn into a disaster? Who among us hopes for an extended illness that costs tens of thousands of dollars and leaves us off work without pay? Nobody does this. We humans make elaborate plans and dream big dreams, and we should. However, life does not always play out the way you had planned it. I have accepted this broken road.
