How Colorado Bankruptcy Works

There are two different types of Colorado bankruptcy-Chapter 13 Colorado Bankruptcy and Chapter 7 Colorado Bankruptcy. In both cases the court takes the pay and anything that can be sold and determines how those assets can be used to payback the creditors. They fill out a form indicating all items owned and what has been given away in recent months or years.

Chapter 13 Colorado Bankruptcy- Creditors are asked to allow debts to be repaid over 3 to 5 years. To do this, you must show that there is an income to be able to repay. If mortgages and car loans exceed over $750,000 or credit card debt more than $250,000, they are not allowed to file this type of Colorado bankruptcy.

Chapter 7 Colorado Bankruptcy- All debts are canceled and the court sells most assets to pay as much back to creditors as possible. The state courts decided whether or not the home needs to be sold to pay debts. Some debts will not be canceled such as tax owed, child support, credit-card fraud, and alimony. This type of Colorado bankruptcy is on credit reports for at least 10 years.
