Introduction to Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy, including New Jersey bankruptcy, is a federal court process designed to help both consumers and businesses eliminate or repay their debts under the protection of bankruptcy court. The federal law in Title 11 of the United States Code governs New Jersey bankruptcy as well as all other bankruptcies. Bankruptcies are generally described as either liquidation or reorganization. Here we will discuss the liquidation, or Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
What is a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy meaning it can eliminate most types of unsecured debt. Examples of unsecured debt are credit cards and medical bills. Individuals, married couples, corporations and partnerships can all file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if eligible.
