Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing is by far the most common form of filing of all consumer bankruptcy filings A chapter 7 bankruptcy case begins with the filing of a petition for relief pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code in the district where the individual lives. The Debtor, in addition to the bankruptcy petition, must also file schedules listing all assets and liabilities, an income and expense report, and a statement of financial affairs.
Chapter 13 is much more complicated than a Chapter 7; however, the basic steps are the same. The Debtor still has to file a petition for relief with the court along with the corresponding schedules. The Debtor must also attend the meeting of creditors similar to a chapter 7 filing. One important step that differentiates the two filings is the requirement of filing a court-approved repayment plan.
