Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 requires liquidation of assets. A court-appointed trustee will sell your non-exempt assets to help pay back debt you owe.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 creates a path to pay creditors, without requiring you to liquidate assets. In return, you’ll be required to adhere to a strict payment plan. Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you prevent foreclosure or repossessions.
Debt restructuring could be another aspect of your Chapter 13 bankruptcy. You could potentially reduce interest rates or amounts owed on unsecured debts.
