What are the types of bankruptcy?
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".
