Chapter 7 bankruptcy is one you file for liquidation. During this bankruptcy proceeding your assets will be sold as directed by the judge to pay off your creditors. It is essentially a bankruptcy proceeding for consumers who don’t have enough money to pay off their creditors.
In order to buy this some time to recover financially and satisfy creditors, consumers may file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy claim relinquishes your nonexempt property to the bankruptcy trustee. At this point the trustee will proceed to liquidate the property (convert to cash), and subsequently distributed to your creditors.
