Although
Chapter 7 bankruptcies are not for everyone, they are
suited for persons whose debt is primarily unsecured.
Unsecured debt is debt where the creditor does not have
any interest in property belonging to the debtor.
Examples would be automobiles, and home loans where the
creditor retains an interest in the property. In such
cases, unless the property is exempt from seizure, the
debtor would be required to turn the property over to
the bankruptcy trustee or the agency who perfected a
lien on the property.
With the exception of the creditors mentioned above and debts such as those listed in the "non-dischargeable debt section," almost all debt is dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Additionally, once a debt is discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debtor is forever relieved of the debt and the creditor will have no recourse against the debtor.
