What Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7—often called liquidation bankruptcy—is a federal process that can wipe out unsecured debts such as credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, and certain judgments. When you file, the automatic stay usually halts collection calls, wage garnishments, and bank levies. For many San Jose filers, Chapter 7 moves quickly, with discharges commonly occurring within 3 months, allowing you to reset and rebuild.
