Determining Eligibility for Chapter 7 and the Means Test:
When you meet with our knowledgeable Kissimmee bankruptcy attorneys, 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, 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.
If you qualify to file for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code, our Kissimmee Chapter 7 bankruptcy attorneys will provide assistance throughout the process, from gathering the required information, to the filing of your case, to the entry of your discharge.
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.* Chapter 7 is a debt relief option available not only to individuals, but also to businesses that are closing or shutting down because of unmanageable debt.
If you are eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy but want to keep certain assets that exceed your allowed exemptions, we can counsel you about filing under Chapter 13 bankruptcy for debt consolidation or reorganization, which may be a more appropriate option.
