Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Explained

When it comes to bankruptcy, Chapter 7 is perhaps the most simple, and it’s often the one people think of when they hear the term. In short, Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to freeze all collections acts against you, add up all of your assets, apply exemptions in order to keep some of them, and then allow the remainder to be liquidated (sold off) in order to pay your creditors. In exchange, whatever unsecured debts you may have are discharged.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy can help get rid of debts, including:

  • Medical bills
  • Credit card debt
  • Outstanding utility bill charges
  • Unsecured personal loans

Means Test

Not everyone qualifies for Chapter 7: in order to do so, you must pass a “means test,” which essentially shows that your expenses dramatically outweigh your income. Essentially, if your income is below the median income for a household of your size in your state, you pass. If not, if your “disposable income” level is below an accepted threshold, you also can file for Chapter 7.
