Chapter 7 is commonly referred to as a "liquidation bankruptcy," although most people will not end up liquidating anything. Chapter 7 also happens to be the most common type of bankruptcy filed by individuals, with more than three-quarters of all bankruptcies filed being a Chapter 7. 

Common reasons why people file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief include:

• Credit Card Debt;

• Medical Debt;

• To Stop a Lawsuit; and

• To Stop a Wage Garnishment or Bank Levy.
