What are the differences between a No Asset Ch 7 and an Asset Chapter 7?

A No Asset Chapter 7 case means that the trustee has abandoned all assets and will not be taking any of your assets to sell to pay creditors. Thus, an Asset Chapter 7 case means that the trustee is holding open the case so that he/she may sell some of your assets.  In this case, the trustee will usually set up an auction to sell your property.  Remember: The trustee can only sell something over the exemption amount.  Some of your assets are protected by the aforementioned exemptions.
