Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can discharge most unsecured debts including credit card debt, medical bills, and some personal loans. However, there are some debts that aren’t dischargeable. Non-dischargeable debts include child support, court fees, some tax debts, most student loans, homeowners associations’ fees, some personal injury debts, and court fines. In some cases, certain property can be liquidated to pay a portion of your debts.
A Chapter 11 Bankruptcy allows struggling businesses or individuals who cannot file a chapter 13 to restructure their finances. In the Chapter 11 case, the debtor files a restructuring plan with the court, which must be accepted by creditors and approved by the court. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is available to individuals and business entities such as partnerships, limited liability companies, and corporations.

The total amount paid to creditors under the Chapter 13 plan must be at least as much as creditors would have received if the debtor filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Upon completion of the repayment plan, your dischargeable and unpaid debts are discharged. Debtors usually file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy if any of these three conditions are true:
Businesses are not able to file Chapter 13.
