Chapter 7, also known as liquidation bankruptcy, helps you to discharge and erase most of the debts, while chapter 13 which is also known as the repayment plan, helps to organize all your dents into a systematic repayment plan without selling off any assets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How to qualify for Chapter 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Depending on the state that you reside in or file for bankruptcy, the rules for qualification may vary slightly.

This is calculated after assessing your debt and income for a minimum period of 6 months. So, after paying all the debts, if you have even a small amount of money left with you, you will not qualify for the means test. The means test prevents those filers from getting approved, who despite having money apply and try to get discharged from their debts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Who is not eligible for filing for bankruptcy under chapter 7?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under the below-mentioned circumstances, you become in-eligible for <a href=\"https:\/\/recoverylawgroup.com\/staging_D\/chapter-7-bankruptcy\/\">filing under chapter 7<\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your previous debt was discharged within 8 years under chapter 7<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your previous debt was discharged within 6 years under chapter 13<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">You are eligible for filing for <a href=\"https:\/\/recoverylawgroup.com\/staging_D\/chapter-13\/\">bankruptcy under chapter 13<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">You did fraud with either the bankruptcy court or the creditors<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">You did not attend the credit counseling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Steps to file for Chapter 7<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first and foremost step before filing for bankruptcy is to attend a credit counseling session with an agency that is approved by the united states trustee.
