Debt Discharge Through Chapter 7

For personalized advice and a complete picture, talk to a bankruptcy lawyer at our firm. We can help you understand the benefits of bankruptcy and guide you toward the best option for you.
Benefits of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Most unsecured debts will be discharged through liquidation
- You pay nothing back to your creditors
- Collection attempts are forced to cease
The process can be relatively quick and can help you break free of the burdens you may be feeling. To determine if this is the right choice for you, contact our firm right away.
What about the new Chapter 7 bankruptcy law?
When the new bankruptcy law went into effect in October of 2005, it added several new requirements to Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings. For example, a “means test” must now be used to help determine if an individual or couple qualifies for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or if Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the appropriate solution.
This “means test” deducts your living expenses from your household’s gross monthly income to determine how much disposable income is leftover. If your household’s disposable income is lower than the regional average, then you may qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The bottom line is that in most cases we can generally achieve for our clients the same debt discharge that we achieved before the new bankruptcy laws took effect. In order to obtain the most from your case, contact our team and speak with an experienced attorney about your case.
