If your total monthly income over the course of the next 60 months is less than $7,475 then you pass the means test and you may file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If it is over $12,475 then you fail the means test and don't have the option of filing Chapter 7.

A chapter 7 bankruptcy case does not involve the filing of a plan of repayment as in chapter 13. Instead, the bankruptcy trustee gathers and sells the debtor's nonexempt assets and uses the proceeds of such assets to pay holders of claims (creditors) in ance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

How long does the bankruptcy process take? In a Chapter 7 case, once the case is filed we will attend a meeting with the court approximately 30-45 days after the case is filed and the debts will be discharged approximately 60 days later ?

If the debtor's disposable income, projected for a five-year period, is more than 25 percent of the total unsecured debt, the debtor will likely be denied a Chapter 7 filing. If the percentage is less than 25 percent, the debtor will most likely survive the means test and be allowed to continue with a Chapter 7 filing.

The solution may be Chapter 7, which discharges debts but also liquidates assets though not all of a person's assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows a person to keep their assets, but puts them on a strict repayment plan. No matter which type you file for, the court puts an ?automatic stay? on any foreclosure action.
