creditors and debtors in matters or controversies involving

Federal bankruptcy laws
are designed to give debtors a financial "fresh start" from
burdensome debts. Congress is authorized by the United States
Constitution to enact uniform bankruptcy laws. Under this
grant of authority, Congress enacted the Bankruptcy Reform Act
of 1978. All bankruptcy cases filed after October 1st, 1979
are governed by this act. The current U.S. Bankruptcy Code,
which is codified as title 11 of the United States Code, has
been amended several times since its enactment, most recently
with the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection
Act of 2005 . The U.S. Bankruptcy Code is the uniform federal
law that governs all bankruptcy cases. Six basic types of
bankruptcy cases are provided for under the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code and are traditionally given the names of the chapters
that describe them.
Chapter 7 - Liquidation.
Chapter 9 - Reorganization of Municipalities.
Chapter 11 - Business Reorganization.
Chapter 12 - Family Farming & Fishing Business
Reorganization.
Chapter 13 - Adjustment of an Individual's Debts.
Chapter 15 - Insolvency Cases Involving Other Countries.
