When filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy schedule J, if your monthly debt exceeds your monthly income, what happens?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
I am afraid your question cannot be answered without more information. As a rule, people who can pay all their monthly expenses do not file for bankruptcy. However, you really need to talk to your attorney to see if your situation will be a problem.

What are the biggest differences between chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
Simply put, do you have anything, such as equity in a house to protect or are you in arrears on a mortgage. Chapter 13 allows you to clean up arrears, Chapter 7 does not.

How do I wipe a student loan off my record?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey Pat Heineman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Heineman Law Office
You must file a bankruptcy, and then file an adversary proceeding, based on that bankruptcy, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Case law on this issue has created a test to evaluate whether your loan can be eliminated or possibly reduced. The test is a little complicated, and it takes into account your current situation, your future income potential, your age, your health, your cost of living, etc.. In short, it evaluates everything. To fight this matter can be expensive. The attorney fees will likely exceed $10,000.00, and very possibly much more. Student loan companies fight these matters to the bitter end, usually. The last one I assisted on had legal fees of over $20,000.
