- Business
Filing for bankruptcy may seem daunting — but a professional can help. Outcomes vary state to state and depend on what the individual’s actual debt picture looks like. There are vast differences between filing a Chapter 13 or a Chapter 7, and thresholds to qualify for each one vary.
In the third episode of Orcutt Answers, our host Shawn Orcutt welcomes Matthew, an associate at The Law Offices of John T. Orcutt, to explain the differences between filing a Chapter 13 and a Chapter 7, the role of a trustee and the general process for each type of filing. Matthew also talks about how not all debts are dischargeable, such as student loans or taxes (at least, for a certain amount of time).
