Personal Bankruptcy - Chapter 7
The most common personal bankruptcy is Chapter 7. Filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Iowa will discharge your personal liability for unsecured debts. In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you do not repay your creditors.
Personal Bankruptcy - Chapter 13
The second type of personal bankruptcy is a Chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you repay your creditors in 36 to 60 monthly payments in an amount that fits your budget. This option may be necessary if you have a high income. According to Iowa bankruptcy law, everyone in Iowa qualifies for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, regardless of income.
Small Business Bankruptcy
It is not uncommon in Iowa for a small business to face financial difficulties that necessitate considering a bankruptcy option.
Every situation is unique and, as we said, business bankruptcy law can get complicated. Before giving any advice and insights into your options, we need to better understand your situation.
Debt Settlement
You have probably seen or heard advertisements for “debt settlement” programs that promise to protect you from creditors and pay all of your debts for a fraction of what is owed or for “pennies on the dollar”. There is one problem with these programs – THEY WON’T WORK. Whether you have just heard the ads or if you are now making payments to a settlement company you need to know that the debt payment plan being promised simply will not work.
