Bankruptcy, as far as the Federal Bankruptcy US Code is concerned, is the process undergone when a business or individual seeks relief from their debts. The Federal Code Law provides for the development of a plan that allows a debtor, who is unable to pay his creditors, to resolve his debts through the division of his assets among his creditors. The proceedings involved in invoking bankruptcy are supervised by and litigated in the United States Bankruptcy Courts. The Bankruptcy Code provides that creditors must stop all collection efforts against the debtor, and allows the debtor to organize his assets and settle his debt and credit accounts in a feasible manner.
