What are they and which one is right for you? Bankruptcy laws help people and companies who are unable to pay their bills. The goal of a bankruptcy case is to give debtors a fresh start by forgiving most of their debts. In those cases where a repayment plan is possible, the goal of bankruptcy is to provide a framework for repaying creditors in an orderly manner over a reasonable period of time and, most importantly, in an amount that the debtor can afford.
