More About Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy affects all households differently and individual reasons for filing are wide-ranging. As a powerful tool for debt management, bankruptcy has the potential to eliminate certain creditor claims and put you in a better position for repayment. Not all debts, however, can be wiped out in your bankruptcy case, and each type of debt is treated differently depending on which bankruptcy chapter you file under. The following pages describe bankruptcy’s ability to handle several difference debt scenarios:

- Stop Foreclosure - Can bankruptcy help you avoid foreclosure on your home? Learn about the roles of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 in preventing the loss of your property.

- Medical Bankruptcy - The most common cause of personal bankruptcy in the United States is not credit card debt or job loss, but rather medical debt. Learn how bankruptcy may aid you in coping with debt brought on by heavy medical expenses.

- Bankruptcy and Student Loans - Students and recent graduates constitute a significant percentage of debtors in the United States. Unfortunately, getting your student loans excused in a bankruptcy case is extremely rare, though not impossible.

- Bankruptcy and Credit - The most common concern among bankruptcy filers is potential damage to their credit score. Learn about rebuilding your post-bankruptcy credit and reestablishing financial stability and freedom.
