Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Congress created a threshold about how creditors will be paid in bankruptcy. Our attorneys know how to work through the means test process so you can complete a Chapter 7 bankruptcy without any issues. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is for filers who truly cannot afford to pay their debts. To qualify, a debtor must pass the means test, which is an analysis of income, expenses and total amount of debt. If a debtor has enough disposable income to pay back even a portion of the total debt, that person will need to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
The means test involves a complex formula, and your attorney must have a detailed knowledge about your state’s median income levels. If you are wondering whether you qualify for this type of debt relief, speak with our Huntsville bankruptcy attorneys today.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to cure a default in your car or house and keep real and personal property. To qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the debt reorganization plan, an individual must have a source of income and be able to maintain repayment obligations. Further, the debtor’s total unsecured debt and secured debt must fall below a certain dollar amount, which is adjusted periodically for inflation. Also, the debtor must submit proof that he or she filed federal and state income tax returns for the four years prior to filing bankruptcy.
