What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often referred to as the "fresh start" bankruptcy because it is designed to help the "honest" debtor who fell on hard times a chance to get out of debt.

Once the Chapter 7 bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay goes into place to stop all of your creditors.  A few weeks after the bankruptcy is filed, you and our East Bay bankruptcy attorney will meet with the bankruptcy trustee to review your case.  About two months after that meeting, your debts will be officially discharged and you can enjoy your new debt free life!
