Chapter seven bankruptcy is usually a viable option for people with lots of unsecured debt and little income coming in; however, not everyone can file Chapter 7. If you want to file Chapter 7, you will have to take the Chapter 7 means test to see if you qualify..

The means test is a formula that determines whether your income is low enough to get your debts discharged. There are two steps to the means test:

  • First Step: Compares your income to the median income in your state. Generally, if you “pass” the first step, you don’t have to do the second step.
  • Second Step: Compares your disposable income and your unsecured debt.

Discover the California median income and talk with one of our bankruptcy lawyers to see if you qualify to file bankruptcy under Chapter 7.

Keep in mind, if you don’t “pass” the means test, you may still be able to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and work to repay your debt (interest-free) over time.
