This means you walk away with no assets. Meaning, if you have 2 cars and $100,000 in debt, after the bankruptcy, you give the cars to the court and they sell them to (partially) repay your debtors. In other words, you walk away with no assets and no debt. The court will do their best to find all of your assets, cars, house, etc. Anything they can find to sell.

∙ 8y agoNo asset bankruptcy is a term used to refer to Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Usually in Chapter 7 cases, a person's entire debt is wiped clean. In many cases, the bankruptcy court will assign a trustee to take certain belongings (assets) and sell them to pay off a debt. In quite a number of cases, the courts have found that the person has no assets to sell (they won't take away items that will make your life unlivable without). If this happens, your case is considered a "no asset" case.

∙ 13y agoThat is not how a Chapter 13 is usually described, since assets are irrelevant except to compare what a Chapter 7 would provide to unsecured creditors.
But it is possible that the monthly income or the means test shows the debtor can do a plan, even though the debtor has no non-exempt assets.
