What Is Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals and businesses to eliminate most of their debts. It’s often referred to as “liquidation bankruptcy” because the bankruptcy trustee may sell non-exempt assets to pay creditors.

Who Qualifies for Chapter 7?

To qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must meet certain income requirements and pass the “means test.” This test evaluates your ability to repay your debts. If your income is too high, you may need to consider Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

What Debts Are Discharged?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy can discharge many types of debts, including credit card debt, medical bills, and personal loans. However, certain debts, such as student loans, child support, and most taxes, are typically not dischargeable.

California Exemption System

In California, you can protect certain assets from being sold in Chapter 7 bankruptcy by using the state’s exemption system. This system allows you to exempt items such as your home, car, and personal belongings up to certain values.

Documents Required for Chapter 7 Filing

How to File Chapter 7 Without a Lawyer

If you can’t afford an attorney, you may still represent yourself in bankruptcy court. We prepare your documents so you can file pro se, including the voluntary petition, means test, and schedules.

What Documents You’ll Need

You’ll need tax returns, pay stubs, a list of creditors, bank account balances, and proof of expenses. Missing documents may cause delays or dismissal.

Course Certificates (Pre/Post)

Two mandatory courses are required: a credit counseling session before filing, and a debtor education course before discharge. Both certificates must be filed with the court.

Timeline to Discharge

A typical Chapter 7 case takes 3–6 months in San Jose. Chapter 13 repayment plans run 3–5 years, depending on court approval.
