Eligibility and Requirements for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Who Can File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy offers relief to various entities, including individuals, corporations, and other business entities. This pathway is available irrespective of the size of the debtor’s debts or their solvency status, contingent upon passing the means test.
Understanding the Means Test and Eligibility Criteria: The means test plays a pivotal role in determining eligibility for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. It evaluates your financial situation to ascertain whether Chapter 7 is the appropriate recourse for your debt relief. Additionally, certain circumstances may preclude debtors from filing under Chapter 7, including:
- Previous voluntary dismissal of a bankruptcy case following creditor actions to reclaim property.
- Dismissal of a bankruptcy petition within the past 180 days due to non-compliance with court orders or failure to appear before the court.
- Lack of credit counseling from an approved agency within 180 days preceding the Chapter 7 filing.
