Chapter 7 Bankruptcy


Orlando Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney - Lawyer, providing experienced Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Law legal Services in Orlando, Orange County, and the surrounding Central Florida area.


The purpose of a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is to wipe out your debts, allowing you to get a "Fresh Financial Start".

In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy a trustee will be appointed by the court to liquidate (sell) all assets which do not fall under the bankruptcy exemption guidelines. The net proceeds collected in the liquidation of the non-exempt assets are then distributed to your creditors.

Debts which cannot be included for discharge in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy may include, but not limited to:

  • Alimony spousal support

  • Child support

  • Fraudulent debts

  • Certain taxes

  • Student loans

  • And certain items which have been charged.

Typically an individual who files for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy has a large credit card debt which may include multiple credit cards, various unsecured bills with may be associated with various assets which the payment status may or may not be delinquent.

In many Chapter 7 Bankruptcy situations you may be able to keep specific secured debts such as your car, furniture, or home, as long as you reaffirm  your commitment to continue paying these debts. In order to keep these items in a successful Chapter 7 Bankruptcy you must voluntary sign a "reaffirmation agreement", which stipulates that you cannot file bankruptcy to discharge the debt of these items for 6 years.

The purpose of the "Reaffirmation Agreement" is to protect "reaffirmed" debtors, as well as ensuring an individual does not try to abuse the bankruptcy process.

A Bankruptcy will appear on your credit report for 5 to 7 years. This does not mean you cannot get credit after filing for bankruptcy. Most lenders will extend credit within two or three years after filing a bankruptcy case. Generally, the effect of bankruptcy on your credit is not a bankruptcy issue; it is a banking or credit issue.
