Which chapter bankruptcy do i file?
If you have to ask...it absolutely should be which ever one your LAWYER suggests.If you have to ask...you probably can't do the filing properly anyway...and will not get the result you think, or is best, and may well commit errors, even criminal ones when filing.Answer:Usually you would want to file a chapter 7 if at all possible so that you don't have to be pay on a plan for three to five years. On the other hand, sometimes you have to file a chapter 13, and sometimes it is best to file a chapter 13 so that you won't lose property that you would otherwise lose in a chapter 7. Most chapter 7 debtor's don't lose anything in a chapter 7, but it just depends on what kind of asset you are talking about and where you are located.
