Learn if You Qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
For individuals and families whose monthly income is less than the median in Wisconsin, it is presumed that they qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Those who earn more than the median must complete a means test that looks at monthly income vs. monthly expenses to determine their qualification. If you qualify, there is no ceiling to the amount of debt you can wipe out in a Chapter 7 filing.
Wipe Out Debt While Keeping Personal Property
The process of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing starts by analyzing a person’s or company’s assets and selling them off to pay back creditors. Once the creditors are paid back as much as possible from the value of the sale-able assets, the remaining debt is wiped out, and the individual is no longer responsible for paying it back. It is critical that filers be completely transparent with all assets. The good news is, Wisconsin has designated certain personal property exemptions and other items that filers can keep in their possession and not sell off in bankruptcy. Exemptions include things such as a primary residential property, a vehicle, pensions, insurance benefits, and more. Our team will work with you to ensure your exemptions are honored.
