An individual filing bankruptcy can file under two different
  chapters: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Most bankruptcy
     petitions are filed under Chapter 7. A Chapter 7
bankruptcy relieves the debtor of most of their debts and
 gives them an opportunity to start again in building and
                     maintaining credit.
Although the laws have changed significantly over the past
several years regarding Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the purpose
 of filing Chapter 7 has not changed. Most people who file
     Chapter 7 bankruptcy have found themselves with
  insurmountable debt that they are unable to pay off. In
   many cases, the debt has been accumulated on credit
 cards that often have high interest rates. As the individual
struggles to pay even the minimum balance due, the credit
   card balances continues to rise, leaving the debtor in a
                      financial quandary.
If an individual loses their job, gets divorced or is
  hospitalized while already having high credit card debt,
the result can be financially catastrophic. Many individuals
 who file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy earnestly want to pay off
 their debts, but have no viable means in which to do so.
Someone who incurs $50,000 in debt can easily spend the
    next twenty years paying it off, even at little or not
                           interest.
For this reason, thousands of people each year choose to
file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy must be
   filed in Federal bankruptcy court through a bankruptcy
 petition. Many people engage an attorney to take care of
                     this matter for them.
Once the Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition is filed, the debtor
   is protected from creditors. During this period, which
    usually lasts for 45 days, the individual must tell any
    creditors who call that he or she has filed Chapter 7
 bankruptcy. Once a creditor learns that an individual has
filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, they are prohibited by federal
 law for continuing to call for money, or from instigating a
                           lawsuit.
After the specified time period, the individual who files a
   Chapter 7 bankruptcy will have to attend a hearing at
bankruptcy court. This is normally done in a room with the
    individual, the trustee (who is the person assigned to
 eliminate the debt and who is an officer of the court) and
 the individual's attorney. The trustee generally asks the
 debtor some questions in a fifteen minute process. After
      this, the trustee makes a recommendation to the
     bankruptcy court to discharge the debt. A discharge
statement is then mailed to the individual several months
                             later.
During the hearing, creditors may appear on their behalf
to argue against the bankruptcy. This rarely happens when
 the creditors are lending companies and banks, as is the
  case with credit card debt. In most cases, the Chapter 7
   bankruptcy is quite easily accomplished without any
                  protests from creditors.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes the only way out for
 individuals who have acquired large debts that they will
never be able to pay. For this reason, most people who file
bankruptcy, do so under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition.
