Chapter 7 Bankruptcy for Individuals and Married Couples
A Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filed by an individual, or filed as a Joint Chapter 7 Bankruptcy by a married couple, refers to a procedure allowed under The United States Bankruptcy Code in which individuals and married couples discharge their legal obligation to pay certain debts.
Commonly discharged debts in this procedure include credit card debts, mortgage deficiencies, medical bills, dental bills, court-ordered creditor judgments, and other types of general, unmanageable debt. Even certain income tax obligations may be discharged in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case as filed by individuals and married couples.
An individual who files a Chapter 7 Personal Bankruptcy Petition is often referred to the “Petitioner,” and a married couple who file a Chapter 7 Joint Petition are often referred to as the “Petitioners.” The filing of a Chapter 7 case provides the Petitioner with immediate and automatic relief from drastic creditor activities such as mortgage foreclosure sales, wage-garnishments, court-ordered capias arrest warrants and tax seizures. In extreme instances even student loan obligations may be dischargeable.
A professionally prepared and well executed Chapter 7 case ultimately concludes with the Order Of Discharge signed by the United States Bankruptcy Court Judge and entered by the Clerk of The United States Bankruptcy Court. Upon the entering of the Order Of Discharge, the Chapter 7 Petitioner is discharged of his or her obligation to pay his or her dischargeable debts.
