A personal bankruptcy is a federal legal proceeding designed to help people overcome the pressures that financial problems due to overwhelming debt can cause.
There are basically two forms of bankruptcy for consumers under the bankruptcy code, Chapter 7, in which you pay nothing to your creditors, and Chapter 13, which is a court supervised repayment plan in which you simply pay what you can afford to your creditors, over a 3 to 5 year time period.
Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 can be filed either by individuals or married couples.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is what most people think of when they think of bankruptcy.
Your debt is wiped out by order of the bankruptcy court.
You never have to pay it back, even if you win the Powerball Lottery down the road.
You have to "qualify" with regard to your household income to file a Chapter 7, but for most people who come into my office, this is not a problem.
Most of the cases I file and in fact most of the cases filed nationwide are Chapter 7 bankruptcies.
Chapter 7 is meant to provide the debtor (person or married couple filing the case) a fresh start by eliminating unsecured debt and allowing the debtors to get out of large contracts such as mortgages and car finance agreements or leases.
