Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who can file bankruptcy?

    Bankruptcy may be a solid option for individuals, married couples, and business owners. The process will be different for different clients, however, and each Chapter comes with its own requirements. You cannot file a Chapter 7 if you filed for bankruptcy in the past 8 years, for example. You will also have to pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7. Chapter 13, on the other hand, is generally better for those who can commit to a repayment plan.

  • What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13?

    A Chapter 7 bankruptcy enables you to discharge unsecured debts, like some medical bills and credit card debts, and any unsecured loans. In limited cases, some may be able to discharge past taxes. You will keep exempt property, such as household furniture, clothing, and most retirement funds. Oklahoma also has an unlimited homestead exemption. For other items like automobiles, you can keep one car with equity up to $7,500.00. 

    Chapter 13 is a reorganization where you and your attorney come up with a plan that is then approved by a trustee to pay back creditors within five years. You can keep all of your property but you must have a steady income that is sufficient to pay creditors and to satisfy the trustee. During the Chapter 13 process, you make one monthly payment to the trustee who pays your creditors in order of priority, with unsecured creditors at the bottom. At the conclusion of the repayment period, which is either 36 or 60 months, any unpaid debt owed to unsecured creditors may be discharged.

  • What happens to my credit?

    While it is true a bankruptcy will stay on your credit record for 10 years, there are numerous ways to rebuild credit and obtain car and home loans on excellent terms after only about two years. Your Tulsa bankruptcy attorney can give you some reassuring news about how to build up your credit.
