Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you turn over your nonexempt property to a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee. The trustee sells this property and gives the proceeds to your creditors in payment of your debt. California offers two different sets of exemptions, each of which will protect the majority of your property. In most cases, all the assets are protected and the debtors lose nothing but their debt. In other words, you will likely keep all of your belongings.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
If you have a steady source of income, you may be able to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases still get the benefit of the automatic stay, but none of your property is sold. Instead, you work with the court and your creditors to create a payment plan that will last for three to five years. The court will consider your living expenses and make sure that the payment is reasonable; it is based on what you can pay and not on what you owe. Chapter 13 gives you the time and protection of the court to catch up on your finances.
