Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
|
_WHAT IS A CHAPTER 7 BANKRUPTCY?
Often the principal reason for filing a bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code is to find relief from the crushing weight of credit card debt, medical debt, car repossession charges and utility debt. Upon completing your bankruptcy you will receive an Order of Discharge which discharges you of all legally dischargeable debts. Once you receive an Order of Discharge, your creditors are barred from any form of collection and the debts are, essentially, eliminated. They can never call you, write to you or harass you in any way.
The filing of a bankruptcy under Chapter 7 also serves to stop civil lawsuits which have been filed against you. The filing of a bankruptcy under Chapter 7 will stop all civil lawsuits.
If your home, real property or personal property is scheduled for Sheriff’s Sale, the filing of the Chapter 7 will stop this, as well, but only for a limited period of time. You may have additional options by filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead.
If your property is scheduled for Tax Sale, the filing of a Chapter 7 will stop the sale but only for a limited period of time. You may have additional options by filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead.

DO I QUALIFY FOR CHAPTER 7?
The determination of whether an individual qualifies for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a complex process. The bankruptcy lawyers at Amori & Associates will help guide you through the significant issue of whether you earn an annual income which is above or below the Median Family Income. In general, if the individual’s income is below the Median Family Income, then it is substantially more likely that the individual qualifies for Chapter 7. If, however, the individual’s income is over the Median Family Income, then it is substantially more likely that the individual does not qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and needs to consider a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
