Filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Florida: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy eliminates or reduces credit card debt, medical debt, and "unsecured" debt. It may reduce or eliminate your tax debt. It does not reduce child support debt or school loans. It takes about 4 months to complete the bankruptcy process and you must attend one hearing and cooperate with a Trustee appointed by the court.

Filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Florida: Chapter 13 Bankruptcy reduces and reorganizes your debt so that you can repay some or all of it through a plan of up to 5 years. If you have several hundreds of dollars of additional income each month after paying your necessary expenses, or if you are behind on your house payments, car payments, or are "upside-down" on your car loan (owing more for the car than its worth), a Chapter 13 may be a good option for you.
