What Types of Debt are involved in Bankruptcy?
There are typically two types of debts involved in a bankruptcy, secured debts and unsecured debts.
Secured debts are those that are tied to a particular type or piece of property. So, home loans are secured, car loans are secured, certain debts with companies such as RC Willey, the refrigerator or the plasma screen TV that you bought may be a secured debt. In those circumstances, the creditor cannot require you to continue to make the payment to them after you’ve filed bankruptcy but they are allowed to come in and take that secured property back. So, we will help you decide what you are able to afford and ways that we can work with these creditors to best suit your needs.
