How much debt is required to file bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Although bankruptcy laws do not state how much or how little debt you must have, filing bankruptcy for less than $10K is, in my opinion, not a smart idea. You don't have to file bankruptcy to not pay your debts, and it could be very difficult to get you to pass the criteria for being eligible to file, which is "are you able to pay 25% of this debt off in 5 years?" That amounts to a payment of less than $42/month based on the numbers you provided. In addition, you are only eligible to obtain a bankruptcy discharge once every 8 years. What if you have a medical emergency a few months after you discharged this small amount of debt, leaving you in worse shape than you were in before?

Do I have to sell my home if I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
No, you do not have to sell your home if you file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Florida. Indeed, one of the beauties of Florida law is the homestead exemption. Your home is exempt from the claims of creditors, and you should claim the exemption if you file bankruptcy.

Is it possible to sell my house before filling bankruptcy? Or will this create a bad situation with the future trustee?

Answered by attorney Philip Rory Boardman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Haven Law Group, P.C.
You should probably file first and then sell. If you sell first, you will need to wait a full year to file the bankruptcy.
