Discharging Your Debt in Queens

The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Process

Do you have too many debts? Financial problems can cause considerable anxiety, especially if you are being hounded by creditors or are facing foreclosure, wage garnishment or repossession. One way to eliminate your debts is to file for bankruptcy. A Queens bankruptcy attorney can determine if you qualify for Chapter 7, the liquidation of non-exempt assets to pay creditors, by administering the means test. If you do not meet the criteria for Chapter 7, you will be required to file under Chapter 13, the restructuring of creditor payment plans.

There are many assets that you will be allowed to keep in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, including child support, alimony, disability, workers' compensation, unemployment and pensions. Depending on their value, your house, vehicle and other personal property may be exempt from liquidation as well. The proceeds from any assets that do get sold will be distributed to creditors, and any remaining debts will discharged. Once a debt has been discharged by the court, you are no longer legally responsible for it.

Certain types of debts cannot be discharged through bankruptcy, such as:

• Unpaid taxes within the past 3 years
• Spousal support
• Child support
• Student loans
