Fresh-Start Bankruptcy
Often, clients have multiple debts of different types because they have been struggling to pay anything due to deteriorating financial circumstances. Bankruptcy is their only option, but the question is which kind of filing do they need?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often called clean-slate, fresh-start, or liquidation bankruptcy because debtors can erase all their unsecured debts without losing major items that are essential for living, like their homes and cars.
Some of the most common debts that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can erase include:
- Medical bills
- Personal loans
- Credit card debts
- Overdue rent payments
- Unpaid mortgage payments
- Utility Bills
- Promissory Notes
A fresh-start bankruptcy may also be used to stop wage garnishments, bank account levies, and other collection actions by creditors.
Additionally, there are several non-dischargeable debts including child support and alimony debts as well as some IRS enforceable actions that can be halted.
How to Qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
When the most recent bankruptcy law was introduced in 2005, the GA Means Test was established to evaluate the financial state of debtors and determine which type of bankruptcy was most appropriate.
Rather than being a test itself, the means test involves a mathematical formula that looks at everything relating to a person’s financial circumstances, including the type of debts he or she has, as well as their monthly income. It also takes monthly expenses into account and determines whether the debtor is above or below the current median income in Georgia.
This means that everyone in Georgia is assessed in the same way to determine whether they qualify for a clean-slate bankruptcy that will allow them to start over.
