What is a Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy can discharge (get rid of) most unsecured debts, for example, credit cards, repossession debt, eviction or broken lease debt, some taxes, past due utilities, and medical bills. Chapter 7 stops wage garnishments, liens, levies, and lawsuits. Most individuals experiencing financial difficulty will qualify. You will be required to continue making payments on your secured debt (house and car payments, for example).
