Will You Qualify for Chapter 7?

While the bankruptcy laws have changed over the years it may be somewhat difficult but not impossible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy , also called debt liquidation.

People within some economic groups may not qualify for Chapter 7, but the majority of those who apply should be able to obtain financial relief.

The Means Test Determines Eligibility

The most common question we hear from clients is whether they are eligible for Chapter 7 or if they should file under Chapter 13 .

  • Eligibility is determined through the means test. This test requires that you meet a median family income. It examines family size and scrutinizes your debt to income ratio — how much money you make in comparison to your expenses and debts.

The bankruptcy attorneys of Gumm & Green, LLP, will work with you. We will walk through the process step-by-step. We will go through all your expenses (food, clothing, household supplies, utilities, etc.) and help you complete the means test. We will assess the exemptions and liabilities that may make the difference in the type of bankruptcy you can apply for. We have a history of stalwart advocacy and successful verdicts for our clients.

Life After Bankruptcy

Rebuilding your credit after a bankruptcy filing is an important step in taking back control of your financial future. We will advise you on the various strategies for doing so, and help you develop a plan for a fresh start.
