Filing triggers the automatic stay, which generally stops most collection actions, lawsuits, garnishments and foreclosures right away.
Chapter 7 wipes out most unsecured debt in a few months if you qualify. Chapter 13 sets up a 3–5 year payment plan and can help you keep a home or car.
Chapter 7 is usually a flat fee; Chapter 13 fees are often partly paid through the plan. Ask for the total, including court filing costs.
