Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

The main purpose of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is to provide you with a "fresh start" from most of your debts. Some of the types of debts that may be eliminated in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy are:

•Credit Card Debts
•Medical Bills
•Personal Loans
•Deficiency Balance Owed on a Repossessed Vehicle

A prime candidate for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is an individual who has little or no equity in real property (i.e. house/land) or personal property (i.e. vehicle), earns only enough income to pay for his/her necessary living expenses, and falls below the median income in California. When filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy, an individual who is financing a house and/or vehicle may keep their house and/or vehicle as long as he/she remain current on their monthly payments.
