Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Right For You?
Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be an option to consider if you have debt you cannot manage. However, your income must be below a certain amount to qualify. For most people, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a last resort, but it is also an option that can lead to a positive solution to a negative situation.
If you have overwhelming debt, are being harassed by creditors, wages are being garnished, or have been sued over a debt, you still have options.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy can have some very powerful effects on breaking the cycle. Once filed, creditors are forbidden from attempting to collect the debt or even call you. Most garnishments and lawsuits are immediately stopped. Small businesses can also file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy if they no longer wish to operate and have liabilities that must be addressed.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy also provides dollar value exemptions to consumer debtors for certain property types, including your home, vehicles, and personal property. This will allow you to keep these items if the value is within the exemption amounts. These exemptions apply to the equity you have in the property, not the total property value. For example, if you own a home worth $120,000 with a $100,000 mortgage, you can exempt the $20,000 in equity and keep your home and mortgage.
