Bankruptcy in Manchester
Manchester bankruptcy law firm, Williams & Stanford PLC provides guidelines for filing personal or business bankruptcy under Chapters 7 (Personal Bankruptcy) & 11(Business Bankruptcy) of US Bankruptcy Code.
Chapter 7: The simplest and least expensive form of bankruptcy is Chapter 7 . Chapter 7 is also known as “liquidation.” An independent trustee is appointed to liquidate your assets (only non-exempt ones). The ultimate goal for this type of bankruptcy is to discharge your debts.
Chapter 11 : Chapter 11 bankruptcy is also known as “reorganization.” Although Chapter 11 is implemented in a few personal cases, it was primarily designed for businesses. This type of bankruptcy centers around the creation and proposal of a plan of repayment to your creditors. Your creditors then have an opportunity to vote for the plan. The process and number of votes required to a successful plan are something that should be discussed with an attorney. Meanwhile, a Chapter 11 case also allows you to remain in control of the day-to-day business until the court says so, as well as removing some of the burden in leases and contracts. You also have the opportunity to object to the claims of your creditors.
