BANKRUPTCY FILINGS

Listed below are businesses and individuals entered in federal bankruptcy court proceedings.

There are two types of bankruptcy cases: Voluntary bankruptcy filings occur when a business, or individual, seeks protection from its creditors, and involuntary filings happen when one or more creditors bring the debtor to court.

Chapter 7 is usually a liquidation, whereby remaining assets are sold off to pay creditors. Chapter 11 is a reorganization effort, and typically a court must approve the filer’s reorganization plan to pay off its creditors. Chapter 13 is a repayment plan for an individual’s debts.

The document number refers to the case number of the bankruptcy filing in federal court.
