Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and the Discharging of Debts
If you qualify to file for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, we will provide assistance throughout the process from providing initial information through the entry of your discharge.
How Do I Know if I Qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
When you meet with our knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyers, we will carefully listen to your current situation including your income, debts and assets to determine your eligibility for filing bankruptcy and which type of filing will best suit your situation and your needs and goals.
One of the main factors used in determining eligibility for a Chapter 7 filing is your income over the past six calendar months. We will also evaluate your assets to determine what exemptions may be appropriate to allow you to keep those assets. If your income or assets exceed the limits for a Chapter 7 filing, we can assist you in filing a Chapter 13 case.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and the Discharging of Debts
Although filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will adversely affect your credit, it will also give you a chance to wipe the slate clean. You will not be required to repay your debts once they are discharged.
