When you are facing an overwhelming amount of debt, it can be difficult to know where to turn.

Fortunately, the skilled attorneys of Hong Law, PLC, can help people in Muscatine go over their bankruptcy options and choose the best method for regaining financial independence in their situation.

Options in Personal Bankruptcy

Almost everyone faces financial difficulty at some point in their lives, whether due to credit card debt, student loans, mortgages, medical bills, or other debts. Under the United States Bankruptcy Code, though, there are two bankruptcy options specifically tailored for personal bankruptcy:

At their most basic, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows a debtor to gradually pay off debt through a repayment plan, while Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidating assets to pay creditors. It is important to understand these differences when determining which personal bankruptcy method is best for you, so you should consider discussing your situation with a knowledgeable attorney regarding your options.
