While there are many types of bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcies are often also called reorganization. Only individuals are allowed to file for Chapter 13, and not businesses. There are two types of individual bankruptcy, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. A debtor opts for Chapter 13 typically because their situation falls into one of the four categories. One, the debtor’s income is higher than the limits of Chapter 7. Two, the debtor does not want non-exempt assets to be liquidated as they might be in Chapter 7. Third, the debtor wants to avoid car repossession or a trustee sale or foreclosure on their home. Lastly, the debtor wants to use the lien stripping provision of the bankruptcy code, which will be discussed in more detail in this article.
