Since 2005, the Bankruptcy Code has used a “means test” to determine whether a person will qualify to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The vast majority of individuals who would have been eligible before the changes remain eligible now. For those who have a regular income and do not qualify under the means test for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is often an effective tool to regain financial health. We can review your income, allowable expenses and determine if you are able to file under Chapter 7. Even if the means test disqualifies you from Chapter 7, we have found that we are still able to find debt solutions for people who have the desire and the need for bankruptcy relief.
