Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the first thing that comes to mind when people think of bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy can be a real life-saver for those who are struggling with overwhelming debt and offers a fresh start. But it's important to understand what Chapter 7 entails before making any decisions.
In a nutshell, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a way to discharge unsecured debts like credit card bills and medical expenses. It also allows you to keep certain assets like your home and your car. In rare cases, you may have to give up other property.
To qualify for Chapter 7, you must pass a means test that looks at your income and expenses to see if you can afford to repay your debts. If not, you may still be able to file under Chapter 13 which has different eligibility requirements.
One of the biggest benefits of filing for Chapter 7 is that it provides immediate relief from creditor harassment and lawsuits. The process usually takes around four months from start to finish, after which time all eligible debts are discharged.
Keep in mind that there are some potential drawbacks associated with this type of bankruptcy such as damage to your credit score.
