What happens if you file bankruptcy differs depending on what chapter of bankruptcy you or your business decides to file under. The most common form of bankruptcy for the individual is Chapter 7. Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the banks may liquidate property and assets-except things that are explicitly protected. After this, most debts are forgiven-but not all, as certain debts do not qualify. Your credit score will then be severely damaged by the filing, but you will be free to slowly bring it back up as you will not be suffocated by debt. The article below goes into further detail on the process of bankruptcy.
Yes you can protect it under chapter 7 bankruptcy
Chapter 13 is "reorganization" plan for payment. Student loans were within the plan for payment? or were they discharged within another bankruptcy? normally student loans are not dischargable, (11 U.S.C. sec. 523(a)(8) bankruptcy:) there are two exceptions: 1: loans are not from any governmental agency unit or non profit 2: paying the loan will impose an undue hardship to dependents.
Yes.
It depends on the chapter you filed under. If you filed under Chapter 7, you have to wait 8 years before filing again. If you filed under Chapter 13, you only have to wait four years.

Bankruptcy is a court proceeding under a federal statute called the "Bankruptcy Code". The Bankruptcy Code allows persons or other entities in financial distress relief from some or all of that person's debt. Bankruptcies are administered through a separate federal court called the United States Bankruptcy Court. There are several types of bankruptcies. For individuals, the two main types of bankruptcy filings are cases under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 7 cases are also referred to as "liquidation" cases. Chapter 13 cases are commonly referred to as "debt adjustment" or "wage earner" cases. Individuals can also be eligible for Chapter 11 reorganization, but Chapter 11 is normally used by debtors in business or debtors with extremely high amounts of debt. Farmers can also file a separate type of bankruptcy available only to farmers under Chapter 12 of the Bankruptcy Code. The word "Chapter" is simply a reference to a chapter number in the Bankruptcy Code. Bankruptcy is a court proceeding under a federal statute called the "Bankruptcy Code".

The chapter 11 of the bankruptcy law permits reorganization under the bankruptcy laws of the United States of America. Chapter 11 is available to every business and to individuals, although it is mostly used by businesses.
