What can you lose in bankruptcy?
This is largely dependent on the chapter of bankruptcy that you're filing under. Is it for an individual? Is it for a business or a corporation. I will take the most common type of bankruptcy-Chapter 7-for an example. Under Chapter 7, the bank is technically allowed to take personal assets and property and liquidate it/them in an attempt to pay back debtors. But there are a number of exemptions and for many people, they do not lost personal items after filing for Chapter 7. Common exemptions when filing for bankruptcy include tools of the trade-such as a car that is used to commute to and from work-and clothing under a certain dollar amount. The article below lists many of the possible exemptions for different chapters.
