The Bankruptcy Code is broken into nine chapters. Three of the chapters provide rules governing bankruptcy cases in general. Six of the chapters provide for a filing of petitions under Chapters 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 15. For purposes of consumer debtors, Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 constitute the majority of filings.
