Chapter 7 doesn't have a repayment plan and eliminates most unsecured debts, meaning the creditors can't recoup what they advanced.
One of the cons of filing chapter 7 bankruptcy is that it will negatively affect your FICO score for 10 years.
In most cases, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can stay on your credit reports for up to 10 years from the date you file bankruptcy.
Once the 10-year period ends, the bankruptcy should fall off your credit reports automatically.
