In order to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, an individual must do the following:

• Prove financial hardship by passing a " means test"
• File all necessary bankruptcy forms to the appropriate court
• Disclose information regarding current expenses and debts

Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Right for You?

Chapter 7 may be a good option if you:

• have "unsecured debts" (i.e. credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, etc.) that you can no longer afford to pay
• have "secured debts" (i.e. home loan, vehicle loan, furniture loan, etc.) that cannot afford to keep and wish to surrender
• have had a lawsuit filed against you over a debt
• are facing a vehicle repossession

When Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you can:

• keep and repay any "secured" debts (i.e. home, vehicle or furniture loans) that you want to keep
• surrender (i.e. give back) any secured debts you no longer wish to keep
• discharge (i.e. wipe out) your "unsecured" debt (i.e. credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, etc. - except for things like student loans, alimony, child support)

If you were to lose a home in a foreclosure, or a vehicle in a repossession, the creditor could then sell the property they took back and sue you for any balance left over. This is called a "deficiency claim". However, when you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and surrender property back to the creditor, they get the property back. They cannot then later sue you for any deficiency. This is another big protection afforded through bankruptcy.

If you are interested in pursuing this type of bankruptcy, don't make the mistake of thinking you can do this alone. You run the risk of filing for the wrong chapter or failing to submit required documents. Don't let this happen to you. Let us guide you through it.
