An Overview of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
The legal world captions Chapter 7 bankruptcy as a "Liquidation Chapter," which means that a debtor filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy may save certain assets from liquidation. The debtor partially satisfies financial obligations by the liquidation of remaining assets distributed pro rata to creditors unless the debtor files for bankruptcy under a “no asset clause.” In a no asset clause, the debtor has no assets to satisfy creditors’ unsecured claims or the debtor’s property is exempt. Once a debtor has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, any collection activities by creditors-phone calls, paycheck garnishments, lawsuits, etc. must cease immediately.
Under the Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court designates a trustee to examine the debtor’s assets. The assets are then determined to be exempt or nonexempt property. Exempt property is restricted to some equity the debtor has in a home, a car, life insurance, household goods and some other possessions.
