Filing for bankruptcy can feel overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Ufyle's experienced paralegals specialize in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy document preparation, helping you navigate the process with confidence and clarity — at an affordable flat fee.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 7 is a liquidation bankruptcy that allows individuals to discharge most unsecured debts such as credit cards, medical bills, and personal loans. The process typically takes 3–6 months from filing to discharge. To qualify, you must pass the means test, which compares your income to the Georgia median income.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 is a reorganization bankruptcy that allows individuals with regular income to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts over 3–5 years. It is often used to save a home from foreclosure or catch up on car payments. Chapter 13 allows you to keep your property while repaying creditors through a structured plan.
The Automatic Stay
One of the most powerful protections in bankruptcy is the automatic stay. The moment you file, an automatic stay goes into effect that immediately stops most collection actions, including wage garnishments, lawsuits, foreclosures, repossessions, and harassing creditor calls.
