What is chapter 7? Chapter is commonly known as a straightforward or liquidation type of bankruptcy. This is because of how this type of bankruptcy discharges debts. Unlike chapter 13 which has a lot of steps or procedures to have your debts discharge. In chapter 7 it will only take a couple of months, like six months from the time you file your bankruptcy papers in court to the time your debts are discharged and case closed.

Chapter 7 takes care of your debts through a process called liquidation. This is a process that will acquire all of your nonexempt properties to be put in liquidation. An amount will be generated out of those properties that a trustee will distribute to your creditors.
