Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorneys Lawyers  Chattanooga, Tennessee

 


Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

provides the qualified Debtor with a "fresh start".  With some exceptions all unsecured debt is discharged. There are certain debts that can not be discharged.  In a Chapter 7 the Debtor can surrender secured assets and have that secured debts discharged as well.  Under certain circumstances a Debtor may choose to keep secured assets and reaffirm the debt with the creditor.  For example you want to keep your house and continue making your mortgage payments. As with a Chapter 13, a Trustee is appointed by the Court and is vested with many powers and obligations, including the obligation to determine if there is any property which can be liquidated in order to pay all or part of the unsecured debts.  The decision to enter into Chapter 7 should not be taken lightly nor without the advice of an attorney / lawyer experienced in bankruptcy law.  Chapter 7 bankruptcy provides many benefits, but there are potential pitfalls as well. See one of our Chattanooga bankrupcty attorneys for advice.
