Chapter 7, total liquidation
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is also known as total bankruptcy. It's a wipeout of many (or all) of your debts.

Basically, a straight bankruptcy means a Chapter 7 "No Asset" Bankruptcy.

A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy "No Asset" pretty much takes about 3-5 months from filing to discharge, the goal being to liquidate, if any and obtain a fresh start.
