Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is commonly referred to as a liquidation available to those who fit within specific guidelines of Florida bankruptcy laws. This effectively discharges most unsecured debt to create a clean slate and fresh start. If you file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be able to obtain a discharge of the following debts:
- Hospital Bills
- Tax Liens
- Payday Loans
- Financially-Related Judgments
- Credit Card Bills
The current Florida bankruptcy laws require you to pass a means test to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. You may be able to file Chapter 7, if your current monthly income is below the adjusted median income in Florida.
There are options for individuals with incomes above the Florida adjusted median income when you factor in living expenses such as medical insurance, retirement plan contributions and car payments. Our experienced Florida Bankruptcy Attorneys have successfully helped many individuals file Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Assets and Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a bankruptcy trustee can take assets for paying your debts, a method known as "liquidation". However, in Florida, there are specific types of property that are exempt from seizure.
This exempt property can include:
- Home equity
- Equity in your car up to $1000
- Personal property up to $1,000
If you are being harassed by creditors, facing eviction, wage garnishment, repossession or foreclosure, you may be able to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy to put all of this on hold.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is commonly known as personal reorganization of debt. This is available top those individuals who want to keep their assets and have income. This process is about developing an effective payment plan to resolve debt. An individual may be able to qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy as another means of debt relief if Chapter 7 is not an option. It is important to realize that certain debts are not dischargeable by Chapter 13 bankruptcy, such as taxes, car payments and mortgage payments. However, certain assets can be kept by filing a reaffirmation agreement with the court and making payments.
