FAQs

What exactly does bankruptcy do?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows a debtor to erase debts without repayment. In Chapter 13, the debtor repays some or all of their debt through a repayment plan approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The end result of a successful bankruptcy proceeding is the granting of a discharge by the Bankruptcy Court. The discharge will eliminate most debts, except for certain nondischargeable debts.

What are the different types of bankruptcy?

There are several chapters under the Bankruptcy Code under which a debtor (person, business or entity) can file for bankruptcy. However, the chapters that are most applicable to individual consumers are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. These are the two chapters of the Bankruptcy Code that most individuals will file under. Read more about Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Should I transfer or sell my property?

No. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy, do not transfer money, vehicles or any other property to anyone. Such transfers can be considered fraudulent transfers and may be recovered by a bankruptcy trustee. However, a bankruptcy attorney can advise you regarding legitimate pre-bankruptcy asset planning that may include selling property for fair value.

What debts are nondischargeable?

Certain debts are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Under both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, most taxes, educational loans and domestic support obligations (child support or spousal support) are not dischargeable. Read more about nondischargeable debts in bankruptcy.

How long does the bankruptcy process take?

Under Chapter 7, the entire bankruptcy process, from filing to discharge, usually takes approximately 90 to 100 days. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy usually takes between three to five years, depending on the length of the repayment plan. However, during this time, debtors are under the protection of the Bankruptcy Court, and creditors generally cannot take any action to collect debts without first obtaining permission from a bankruptcy judge.

A disability “Independent Medical Evaluation” describes the physical examination that a disability claimant is asked to undergo before an insurance company will either approve a claim or continue to pay benefits. The requirements for an IME are based on the provisions in the disability contract, and there may be some instances where the claimant does not have to comply with the request for an IME, but most contracts and most jurisdictions require an IME. There are many problems associated with IM Es resulting in numerous lawsuits brought by individuals concerning these examinations, including one heard by the United States Supreme Court. The most important issue: they are anything but independent.
