Get Seasoned Guidance on Debt Relief. Call (888) 907-7063!
If you are struggling under extremely high credit card and other unsecured debt, Chapter 7 bankruptcy could wipe out all of your debt and give you a new start. Most people who use Chapter 7 are able to keep all of their assets (clothing, appliances, car, etc.) and the court discharges all your unsecured debts after liquidation. A Glendale bankruptcy attorney at Financial Recovery Law can help you learn whether you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection.
Contact Financial Recovery Law online at (888) 907-7063 for a free consultation to discuss debt relief with a Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer in Glendale. We speak English, Tagalog, and Armenian.
What Happens When I File for Chapter 7?
The moment you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court will order a "stay" which stops creditor harassment and any further collection calls. We will stand by throughout the entire process and help you file the necessary forms and be with you when you make your appearance in bankruptcy court.
What Are Non-Exempt Debts in Bankruptcy?
There are certain non-exempt debts you will need to remain responsible for, including:
- Child support and alimony
- Most taxes
- Other legal fines / debts
How Long Does Bankruptcy Take?
The entire process could be done in just a few months. Once it's over, you will be able to begin rebuilding your credit by making regular payments and applying what you learned in the mandatory credit counseling program you will receive. Bankruptcy is not a life-ending event—rather, it is a chance to erase the past and get a fresh start on a brighter future!
Eligibility Requirements for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Are you in debt? Filing for Chapter 7 may be an option, but not everyone with debt can file for it. Below we go over the requirements for filing Chapter 7.
To be eligible for Chapter 7, you must:
- Be an individual, a married couple, or a small business owner.
- Determine whether or not your income is too high to file via the means test.
- 180 days before filing, complete a credit counseling course.
You must also make sure that you have not:
- Had a previous Chapter 7 discharge in the last 8 years.
- Had a previous Chapter 13 discharge in the last 6 years
- Had a previous chapter 7 bankruptcy dismissed in the last 180 days for certain reasons.
If you are considering bankruptcy and are unsure if you qualify, reach out to our Glendale Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney for guidance. We can help evaluate your debt and your situation and determine if you qualify or see if this option is right for you.
Schedule a Consultation with a Glendale Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
As part of the initial qualification interview, you will need to provide your last six months of income to establish your average income. This will be compared to the median income of other families of the same size in your city or county. If it is equal to or less, you will qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If your income is higher than the median, you will need to do an additional "means test," which factors in your bills and expenses to see if you qualify.
