In order to qualify for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the debtor must be an individual, a partnership, or a corporation. Relief is available under chapter 7 irrespective of the amount of the debtor’s debts or whether the debtor is solvent or insolvent. Chapter 11 does not necessarily involve selling off assets. Rather, the debtor business continues operation and goes through a structural and financial reorganization designed to regain profitability. Chapter 11 can involve restructuring business debts with creditors, selling off assets to streamline the corporation, and other changes. The purpose of Chapter 13 is to enable financially distressed individual debtors, under court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid over an extended period of time. Under this chapter, debtors are permitted to repay creditors, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period, during which time creditors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts. Chapter 12 bankruptcy is another bankruptcy plan. It is almost identical to Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The main difference is that to be eligible for Chapter 12 bankruptcy, at least 80% of your debts must arise from the operation of a family farm.
