Are you buried under unsecured debts, credit card debt, or medical bills? Are you looking for a safe option to legally eliminate these financial obligations? Are you confused about how to file bankruptcy and the process involved? When bankruptcy is filed, a majority of these debts are discharged and certain protection laws are put in place to make sure that creditors and debt collectors cannot harass you and your family. This means that the legal obligation to pay these debts is lifted from you personally and discharged. The creditors and debt collectors are no longer eligible to contact you, and if they do, you have the authority to report them. In certain instances, we can even file a lawsuit AGAINST your creditors if they have violated the federal law when attempting to collect the debt through what is known as an FDCPA, FCRA or TCPA violation.

Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy can help discharge the following types of debts.

• Credit Card Debt (Including overdue and draft late fees)
• Collection Agency Accounts
• Medical Bills
• Business Debt
• Past-Due Rent and Utilities
• Auto Accident Claims (Except under Drunk Driving Laws)
• Payday Loans
• Some tax debt

An automatic stay is one of the most powerful aspects under consumer bankruptcy laws. When a bankruptcy case is filed, an automatic stay immediately comes into effect; it stops the law suits, creditors, wage garnishment, and debt collectors from bothering you.

Simply put, you get your due right of help and the pressure from financial institutions and creditors is released in as early as a week.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is a unique legal model designed to assist people burdened with unsecured debts. It works as a cleanser, by wiping off the slate and providing you a solid foundation to begin from scratch with a fresh start.

After your consultation, the attorney will prepare schedules and petitions that contain details of your wage, income, and assets. These petitions will be submitted to the bankruptcy court.

After the case is filed, the court chooses a bankruptcy trustee to supervise your case. The bankruptcy trustee is responsible to settle the issue by ensuring that all of your available assets are distributed among your creditors but most chapter 7 filers keep all of their property and possession’s. However, some property is exempted from the distribution. Such properties include:

• Clothing
• Furniture
• Work tools
• A certain amount of equity in your home
• Past-Due Rent and Utilities
• A vehicle up to a certain value

The property laws may differ from one state to another. Some states allow a “wild card exemption”. This wild card is used to protect the properties that are not exempt from distribution.

The court will issue you a Personal Financial Management Course. The creditors can, in certain instances object to the discharge in 60 days. Once the 60-days period is completed, the discharge can be entered. It works as an injunction i.e. it prevents the creditors and debt collectors from pursuing the debt collection process.

A fresh financial start is possible with the bankruptcy discharge. A fresh start is impossible with creditors and debt collectors chasing or harassing you or if any discharged debt remains on your credit report.

The bankruptcy sanctions are applicable only when a creditor or debt collector violates the discharge injunction, which may occur in many cases. If such violations occur, the court may order the creditor or debt collector to pay you money for a violation of the federal laws.

The responsibility of a bankruptcy law firm does not finish simply by entering the discharge, but this is where most of the bankruptcy firms leave you on your own.

The Chapter 7 bankruptcy is not for everyone. In the legal system, it is designed to provide protection to those only who truly cannot pay their debts.

Each state has median income standard as per the household size. Compare your income with the median income of your state. If the ratio of your median income is lower than the average median income in your given state, you are most likely eligible for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

In the second scenario i.e. when your median income is more than the average median income of a household in the given state, you can still file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. In this case, your prospective disposable income over the next five years will be calculated. If this income is less than $6000 total, or $1,250 per year, you are eligible to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. If the sum disposable income of the next five years is more than $10,000, you cannot file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. However, this is a more complex calculation and certain assets or debts can and should be excluded to arrive at this number. That’s why it is important to work with and speak to an attorney who knows your state laws and will help guide you through the process.

If your disposable income is between $6,000 and $10,000, more complex calculations are conducted by your attorney. Most often, a comparison of your balance of unsecured and non-priority debts with disposable income provides the answer. However, we understand this process is confusing and can be daunting when trying to learn the legal system and fight off creditors, bills and harassment.
