Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is generally used by people who desire to discharge unsecured debt and who have little non-exempt property.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is used to reorganize mortgages and other secured debt as well as to discharge unsecured debt.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often used to stop a foreclosure action and proposed a plan of reorganization. Due to the decreased real estate values in South Florida, often a junior mortgage lien may be avoidable as an "unsecured debt."
