Your Options for Filing Bankruptcy in Columbus, Ohio
Chapter 7
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is sometimes called “debt liquidation.” It provides people with a fresh start on their finances by discharging (erasing) most or all of their debts. Chapter 7 may be the right bankruptcy for you if you have limited income and cannot afford to repay your debts.
Doyaga Law Office has experience protecting your most important assets, such as your home, vehicle, and other personal property, during a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Chapter 13
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is commonly referred to as individual reorganization and provides a way for individuals with high incomes and valuable assets to partially discharge or completely pay off their debts.
People usually file for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy when they don’t qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, want to stop a foreclosure and keep their house, or if there is some other asset that would not be protected in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
At Doyaga Law, our Columbus bankruptcy attorneys will walk you through all the benefits of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy during your initial consultation.
