Bankruptcy is a legal process and can be complicated depending on the specific circumstances involved. Because it is a legal process, you need dedicated and trusted legal counsel by you side.

Qualifications

Under the law, you must qualify to file for bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy has very specific criteria that must be met before you can file. The means test is a way of determining if you qualify for this type. In New Hampshire, you must have an income lower that the median income in the state for a same sized family before being approved for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you earn more, you may still petition the court to approve the bankruptcy, but it may be difficult. If approved for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court will appoint a trustee to evaluate the assets and oversee the sale of those assets, along with the task of paying back creditors.

If approved for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you need to understand the laws pertaining to exemptions. This outlines which type of property and how much you can keep and not have liquidated to pay back creditors.

The laws for Chapter 13 bankruptcy pertain to the timeline and process of getting a repayment plan approved. This type allows you to repay back due debt and keep assets. However according to law, if you fail to live up the agreement, your creditors can begin collections against you and vie for the assets you have.

 “When I went to Joe I was so worried about my credit card debt.  I really did not want to file bankruptcy and was so nervous to file bankruptcy.  So many people had told me not to file a bankruptcy.  Joe explained the process to me, showed me it was not a big deal and how it would get me out of my situation.  I felt so comfortable with Joe.  He made it easy and explained everything the whole way through.  I am so glad that I did not listen to my friends.  They were so wrong!  I already have a new car loan and even a credit card. Thanks Joe.”
