How Can Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Help Me?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy can provide debtors relatively fast financial relief. It can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to complete a Chapter 7 filing. At the end of this process, you will be able to discharge most if not all of your debts.
Once you file for bankruptcy, the automatic stay provides you a legal shield against creditors. With the automatic stay, creditors cannot call you to collect on debts, any garnishment of your wages end, and you can prevent utility shut-offs.
Do I Qualify for Chapter 7?
To file for bankruptcy under Chapter 7, debtors must meet certain qualifications.
Debtors may qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in any of the three following ways:
- Having an income less than the average income for their household size.
- Having the majority of debt be “non-consumer”. This can be tricky because a mortgage is considered consumer debt and can often cause the struggle. Large judgments that come from a lost civil trial will often push individuals into a position where they qualify. This calculation is sometimes difficult to predict and takes some skill.
- Passing the “Means Test.” The Means Test is a calculation that seeks to determine a bankruptcy debtor’s disposable income. This disposable income is your leftover income after paying for real-world expenses such as mortgages, car payments, and IRS allowances. If a debtor can demonstrate they have insufficient funds to pay back any appreciable amount of money to unsecured creditors, they can file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition.
Individuals who have an income too high to qualify for Chapter 7 can still obtain debt relief through Chapter 13. Both types of bankruptcy act as a shield against creditors. Our bankruptcy attorneys in Dallas-Fort Worth also offer other types of debt relief service, including fair debt collection practices claims that assist those who are targets of overzealous creditors.
Our high-powered attorneys are ready to utilize their knowledge, skill and experience to provide strategic solutions to your legal needs.
