Watching a company for bankruptcies is a great way to stay on top of your employer, a client, or a company you plan to do business with.

What are the different types of Bankruptcy?

Watch Illinois compiles Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 Bankruptcies.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is also known as liquidation, and is an option for people and small businesses who have very little or no assets, lot of debt, and a low income. A person can file Chapter 7 Bankrtupcy once every 7 years.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a payment plan that is structured to include certain debts that the debtor must repay back to their creditors in a three to five year time period. The amount paid is based off a debtor's income, not how much they ower. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can delay foreclosure proceedings because of bankruptcy's automatic stay provisions that force creditors to be put on hold while the bankruptcy court sorts things out. However, a mortgage company is entitled to be able to apply to the court for relief from the automatic stay. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is often an option that folks use before Chapter 7, so they may use Chapter 7 in the future if needed.

Chapter 11 Bankruptcy is used by individuals, corporations, and partnerships in order to restructure their debt. There are no limits on the debt, however, Chapter 11 is usually more expensive to the debtor, and has a lower success rate of getting approved. Most people file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankrtupcy instead of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy.

What information can be found on Bankruptcy public records?
