3) Opt for Chapter 7 without counseling: The Chapter 7 bankruptcy is applicable if you have no regular sources of income. It works by reducing or clearing off all your debts. You can then make a fresh start without having to worry about having to pay your debts. Once you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court assigns a trustee who works as an intermediary between you and the debtors. He oversees everything and checks out if the bankruptcy plan is going as planned. http://get-out-of-the-debt-trap.com/category/Information-on-Chapter-7-Bankrupt.html
