When a Wisconsin resident has more debt than she can pay, she has three legal options: Chapter 7, Chapter 13 and Chapter 128.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a fresh start bankruptcy. When someone files a Chapter 7 in Milwaukee, a person usually is allowed to keep all of their assets, like their home and auto. Chapter 7 bankruptcy law can help someone get rid of both secured debt (debt tied to property) and unsecured debt. A debtor can only file for Chapter 7 once every eight years.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a repayment plan. If you are behind on your house or car payments and want to keep assets, a Chapter 13 filing may be the right solution. A person may also file under Chapter 13 if they are ineligible to file under Chapter 7. A typical repayment plan lasts 3-5 years.
Chapter 128 isn't a bankruptcy at all. Called a receivership, it's open to anyone living in Milwaukee or other parts of Wisconsin. It gives someone the opportunity to pay their debt without filing bankruptcy. Creditors receive payments four times a year directly from the filer's paycheck. Payment plans under Chapter 128 law usually last three years, stops creditor harassment and limits interest rates.
