Consumer Bankruptcy

Chapter 7 or Chapter 13?

Whose Choice?

What about if I decide the trustee or creditor is right and I want to change my Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Can we just agree to do it?

Yes. The law specifically provides for conversion of a bankruptcy case to Chapter 11 or 13, with the debtor's permission, as an alternative to dismissal.
