In the current economy, financial problems can strike virtually anyone.  What you may not know is that there are several different types of bankruptcy.  One of the most common forms is a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, during which the debtor is discharged from almost all unsecured debts. Meanwhile, a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is another common form of bankruptcy, during which the debtor makes fixed payments for a three or five year period. In most circumstances, either form of bankruptcy can allow one to keep real estate and a vehicle.

Oftentimes, the cause of an individual filing for bankruptcy is outside the control of the debtor.  Some of these causes include loss of work due to layoff or business closure, medical bills or personal injuries sustained during automobile or other types of accidents.  During these difficult economic times, even those in good health oftentimes face a hard time finding meaningful employment, as Schuylkill County currently faces double digit unemployment rates.
