From a legal standpoint the meaning of a chapter bankruptcy is the lack of ability of a people or group to pay its debts. When a person get into a predicament where they are don't have the money to pay their bills they somemtimes turn toward personal bankruptcy to solve their mistakes. When someone petitions for personal bankruptcy they must fill out a report to the court asking to have their debt wiped away or reset with a repayment plan. The idea with this is to give people and groups a opportunity to have an immediate new situation or the assurance that they desperately need to gradually pay down their debt.
A business bankruptcy can be either by choice or against ones will. The majority of filings are by choice but there are a some times where credit companies submit petitions with the judge to require an individual into a BK.
