    Exceptions to the Means Test in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

    Posted by Erick Bohm on May 31

    Among the eligibility requirements to file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the Means Test is used to determine whether or not a debtor has the resources available to satisfy their financial obligations. When a debtor fails to satisfy the requirements of the Means Test, they have the option of filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead. However, there are exceptions to the Means Test which provide certain debtors the option of filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy despite having too high of income. If the majority of your debts are non-consumer debts, you are a disabled veteran, or you are a military Reservists/Guardsmen, you may qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy regardless of your income.

    Getting Access To Credit After a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

    Posted by William Kain on May 30

    I meet with many people every month who are struggling financially. Most of these people want to know if filing a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy case is right for them.

    Posted by William Kain on May 26

    For the past three weeks, I’ve written about the requirements that are needed to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy case, and what is required to receive a chapter 7 discharge. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is the most common chapter that consumer debtors use when they file a bankruptcy case. Chapter 7 is a relatively quick, cost-effective way to discharge debt for people who are being overwhelmed by their financial situation. Chapter 7 uses a “liquidation” approach to financial problems - a chapter 7 debtor does not repay her creditors in whole, or in part, and a chapter 7 trustee is appointed to liquidate any non-exempt property owned by the debtor.
