Am I Eligible for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy? Call a Tampa Bankruptcy Lawyer.
It's safe to say that most people considering bankruptcy would rather discharge their debt completely by filing Chapter 7. The truth is, however, that Chapter 7 isn't the right debt relief option for everyone's debt problem, nor does everyone qualify under the new means test, implemented by the U.S. Congress in 2005. Your eligibility for Chapter 7 is based on your disposable income. Simply put, if the results indicate that your income and non-exempt assets are above a certain percentage of your consumer debts, for your individual or family circumstances, the law says you will have to file for Chapter 13.
In addition to the means test, individuals may not be eligible for discharging debt under Chapter 7 bankruptcy if they have previously had their debts discharged within the past eight years. You can still file Chapter 7 for protection from creditors, but you will not be eligible to have your debts discharged. If you are not eligible for a Chapter 7 discharge, you may be eligible for a discharge in a Chapter 13 case. Schedule a free initial consultation to find out more!
