If you choose to file chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will be allowed to keep all of your assets and simply pay a monthly payment through the courts each month. This payment will be distributed among your creditors over several years, until all of your debt is paid off. The typical period for this type of bankruptcy is five years, depending on the amount of debt you owe.
In chapter 7 bankruptcy, any property outside of your residence, car, clothing and furniture will be sold to pay off your debt.
