Bankruptcy Filing Types in Curry County
Curry County bankruptcy records include several types of cases. Most filings are Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Chapter 7 provides a fresh start by discharging most debts. A trustee reviews the debtor's assets. Chapter 13 sets up a payment plan that lasts three to five years. Both types are governed by Title 11 of the U.S. Code.
Chapter 11 cases show up less often in Curry County records. This chapter is used mostly by businesses that want to reorganize while staying open. Chapter 12 is for family farmers and fishermen.
