WASHINGTON PERSONAL BANKRUPTCY
A personal bankruptcy can be a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. In certain, limited cases, an individual may file a Chapter 11.
When a personal bankruptcy is filed, an automatic stay goes into effect that protects the bankruptcy filer from most collection activity.
The automatic stay stops most lawsuits, garnishments, and acts to prohibit bill collectors from calling or writing the bankruptcy filer. The automatic stay also prohibits a mortgage lender from proceeding with foreclosure and an automobile lender from repossessing a bankruptcy filer's vehicle.
The two most popular types of personal bankruptcy, Chapter 7 bankruptcy and Chapter 13 bankruptcy are explained below. Further information regarding Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 can be found on the links available to the left.
