Personal bankruptcy in Connecticut
When you file for bankruptcy, the Connecticut bankruptcy courts will issue what is called an automatic stay. While the automatic stay is in place, your creditors are prohibited from taking any collection actions against you, including foreclosure or repossession, and must stop calling to collect on debts. This buys you valuable time to work with your bankruptcy lawyer to establish a plan for keeping your home. The automatic stay is applied whether you file for Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your non-exempt assets can be liquidated to repay your creditors, usually at a much lower balance than what you currently owe. Many assets, such as your primary residence, are exempt, meaning you can't be forced to sell them as part of your Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing in Connecticut.
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you and your bankruptcy attorney will work together to establish a repayment plan that will satisfy the bankruptcy court and your creditors. When you've satisfied the terms of your bankruptcy plan, any remaining eligible debts will be discharged.
