破產 – 這意味著什麼 本文是由中部澤西法律服務處的律師 – Bankruptcy – What It Means

Hardship Stay of Eviction: The Worst Named Law in Housing

破產是一種法律的程序,旨在幫助那些無法償還債務的人。全國各地的破產規則都相同,無論您在新澤西州還是猶他州申請破產,其流程都是一樣的。

個人或已婚夫婦的破產主要有兩種類型:第 13 章 (Chapter 13) 和第 7 章 (Chapter 7)。
==================================

第十三章破產

如果某人拖欠抵押貸款 (mortgage) 並想阻止銀行收回他們的房屋 – 稱為喪失抵押品贖回權 (foreclosure),他們可能會根據第 13 章提出申請。

運作方式如下:

Edward Brinkmann, Esq.
該人制定一項計劃來償還其所欠的銀行抵押貸款,包括利息和滯納金。
他們每月向稱為第 13 章受託人 (Chapter 13 Trustee) 的人支付這些款項。
該計劃通常持續長達 5 年(或 60 個月)。
該人還必須按時支付每月的定期抵押貸款。
如果他們遵循該計劃,他們的抵押貸款將在 5 年後到期,並且他們可以保留他們的房屋和其他財產。
提交第 13 章破產案件的費用為 313 美元。

在支付所有的款項後:

該人不再對其無法償還的其他債務負責。

他們可以像以前一樣繼續償還抵押貸款。

注意:受託人 (Trustee) 會收取每月還款額的 10% 作為手續費。因此,如果某人每月還款 500 美元,則需要額外支付 50 美元來支付這筆手續費。
======================================================

第七章破產

第七章破產適用於無力償還大部分或全部債務的人。這類破產可以幫助清償債務,但當事人可能需要放棄價值不菲的財產。

必須知道的重要事項:

所有的債務和資產都必須在第7章破產申請書中列出
提交第 7 章破產案件的費用為 338 美元。 有些人可以申請免除這筆費用。

如果某人擁有價值很高的財物,例如單身人士擁有房產超過 31,575 美元的資產淨值 (equity – 即付清任何抵押貸款或其他相關費用後的房產價值),或共同申報的夫婦擁有房產超過 63,150 美元的資產淨額,或者擁有一輛新車,他們可能不得不放棄它。

大多數人保留住自己的東西,因為他們沒有什麼太貴重的東西。

提交第 7 章破產之前:
該人必須參加法院批准的信用諮詢課程 (credit counseling class)。
該課程必須在提交申請前 180 天內參加,否則提交的案件將被否認。

提交第 7 章破產之後:
法院將會給該案件編號。
