If I easily qualify for Chapter 7 based on income guidelines, can they force me to do Chapter 13?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Margaret L. Evans (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
Question: If I easily qualify for Chapter 7 based on income guidelines, can they force me to do Chapter 13? Question Detail: My yearly income is about $15,000. I'm way below the median family income for my state, which is about $38,000. I have some expenses (about $800 per month) that they might not consider as being necessary (trust me, there's not many things they consider as a necessary expense) and thus they would conclude I have disposable income, which is probably true. I am not legally required to pay that $800 out as I do. Can they force me to do a Chapter 13 instead of a Chapter 7 on that basis alone? I am trying to settle my most recently used cards but the ones that I used before I stopped paying on my debts I feel like I used them in good faith with every intention of paying them off. I ended up with more than I could handle. *- having gross monthly income below the median is only PART of the MEANS TEST; having disposable monthly income over $100 will also put you in a Chapter 13. HOWEVER: depending on your particular circumstances, you may very well not meet the standards necessary to support a confirmable plan. You should consult with a lawyer to discuss the particulars of your case. *

If my car was repossessed, can I file bankruptcy to get it back?

Answered by attorney Edward M Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
You need to talk to an attorney about your specific situation. However, in general, you will not be able to get the car back without some way to assure the lender that you will be able to make the rest of the payments you owe. So, if you have no job, you need to bring something else to the table.

When can I declare bankruptcy again after filing eight years ago?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
8 years from the date you filed in 2004 assuming that was a Chapter 7 case you last filed and in which you were granted a discharge. Therefore, sometime in 2012 you will be able to file another Chapter 7 case.
