With a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your debt typically isn’t repaid. It is often times referred to as a fresh start bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy any non-exempt assets are liquidated by the Trustee and the proceeds are used to pay towards your debts. To the extent your debts are not paid off, they get wiped out or discharged. The vast majority of Chapter 7 cases are no assets cases, meaning there are no proceeds to disburse to creditors.
