Helping Clients File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in New York

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a process that allows individuals and businesses to discharge most unsecured debts. This type of bankruptcy is often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, because most of the debtor's assets are sold to pay creditors. However, in reality, most people will not lose any of their assets, as most debtors qualify for the exempt property exemption.

What Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a process that allows individuals and businesses to discharge most unsecured debts. This type of bankruptcy is often referred to as liquidation bankruptcy, because most of the debtor's assets are sold to pay creditors. However, in reality, most people will not lose any of their assets, as most debtors qualify for the exempt property exemption.

Chapter 7 Eligibility

In order to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must pass the means test, which is a calculation of your income and expenses. If your income is below the state median income, then you pass the means test automatically. If your income is above the state median income, then you will need to complete the means test to determine if you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

If you pass the means test, then you will be able to discharge most unsecured debts, such as medical bills, credit card debt, personal loans, and unpaid utility bills. If you fail the means test, you will be required to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which is a repayment plan that allows you to pay back your debts over a period of time.
