Additionally a means test is used by the court to determine whether you are eligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.Chapter 13The second type of bankruptcy that a debtor can file for is Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides a way for debtors to stop the harassment and car and property repossessions by allowing individuals to pay single monthly payments to selected trustees over a period of time lasting between three or five years. The length of time depends on the debtor's income. A wonderful thing about filing for Chapter 13 is that you get to retain your assets.
