CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY

Apr 11, 2023

Introduction

Welcome to the comprehensive guide on Chapter 7 Bankruptcy by Williams & Ackley P.L.C. at John Hugh Shannon. Our expert legal team understands the challenges individuals face when dealing with overwhelming debt, and we are here to provide you with the necessary information and support to navigate the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy process successfully.

What is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, also known as "Liquidation Bankruptcy," is a legal process that allows individuals or businesses to eliminate most of their unsecured debts by liquidating non-exempt assets. It offers a fresh financial start for those burdened with overwhelming debt and unable to repay their creditors.

The Benefits of Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Under Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, individuals can experience several benefits:

  • Debt Discharge: Chapter 7 allows for the discharge of unsecured debts, such as credit card bills, medical expenses, personal loans, and certain taxes.
  • Immediate Relief: Once you file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, an automatic stay is issued, which stops creditor actions, including collection calls, wage garnishments, and lawsuits.
  • Speedy Process: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy usually takes approximately three to six months to complete, providing a relatively quick resolution compared to other bankruptcy chapters.
  • Preserving Certain Assets: While some assets may need to be sold to repay creditors, many assets can be exempted under state and federal laws, allowing you to retain necessary items like your car or home.

Filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

Before filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, it is crucial to determine your eligibility. The following criteria generally apply:

  • Means Test: You must pass the means test, which assesses your income and expenses to determine if you qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
  • No Recent Bankruptcies: If you have previously filed for bankruptcy, specific waiting periods exist before you can file again.
  • Credit Counseling: Completion of credit counseling from an approved agency within a specified time frame before filing is mandatory.
  • Non-Exempt Assets: Understanding which assets can be exempted and which may be subject to liquidation is vital. Our experienced attorneys can guide you through this process.

The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Process

The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy process typically involves the following steps:

  1. Gather Necessary Documents: Collect all financial records, including income statements, tax returns, and a list of your assets and liabilities.
  2. File Petition and Documentation: Prepare and file your Chapter 7 Bankruptcy petition, schedules, and supporting documentation with the bankruptcy court.
  3. Meeting of Creditors: Attend a mandatory meeting with your appointed bankruptcy trustee and creditors to address any questions regarding your finances and bankruptcy case.
  4. Asset Liquidation (if applicable): If non-exempt assets are identified, these will be sold to repay your creditors fairly.
  5. Debt Discharge: Upon successful completion of the bankruptcy process, your qualifying debts will be discharged, providing you with a fresh financial start.
