If you are facing an unmanageable debt load, don't be afraid to ask for help. For people who have a large amount of unsecured debt, such as credit card debt or medical bills, Chapter 7 bankruptcy can provide the relief they need to regain control of their financial situation and move forward with their lives.
Many people are hesitant to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy because they feel that it indicates some sort of failure on their part or that they have done something wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hardworking people across the country are finding themselves in financial distress due to a variety of different causes, including job loss, divorce, unexpected illness or injury, and many others.

One of the most persistent misconceptions about Chapter 7 bankruptcy is that debtors lose everything they own because it is sold to repay creditors. While it is true that the law allows for the liquidation of certain assets, most debtors don't lose anything. Under the law, you are allowed to keep the property you need to live a normal, productive life. Some examples include your home, car, clothing, household furnishings, tools for your job and other assets.
During the Chapter 7 process, your trustee will look for items that can be sold at auction to raise money to repay your creditors. In a majority of cases, however, there is nothing that would raise enough money at auction. In these situations, the trustee declares the bankruptcy a "no-asset" case and the debtor does not lose any property at all.
