Understanding the Basics of Chapter 7
Chapter 7 bankruptcy, known as "liquidation" or "straight bankruptcy", provides individuals with protection from creditors, such as in
repossessions or
wage garnishment matters, and quickly discharges most of their debt. Under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, some of your assets will be protected under
bankruptcy exemptions laws; although you can expect that you will not be able to discharge child support, student loans and most tax debt.
The Means Test
Qualification for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is based on the results of a means test. If you have made less money in the past 6 months than the median income level in your area, you will qualify. If you have made more money, you may still be eligible after completing the entire means test to determine how much disposable income you have. The means test is a legal requirement in filing for bankruptcy, and one of the more difficult parts of the process, and the firm can assist you to complete it correctly.
The means test and the whole of the bankruptcy process are very complicated and attorneys at the firm do not recommend attempting to complete the requirements on your own. Let the firm's attorneys, with many more years of experience than the typical bankruptcy law firm, take the stress off of you and help you achieve all the advantages possible from your bankruptcy filing. They genuinely care about your future and look forward to helping you get a fresh financial start.
