Do You Qualify For Chapter 7?
In 2005, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 was passed at the federal level. One of the most significant changes this brought about was the introduction of a "means test" to assess an individual's eligibility to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Relevant factors in your case will include your "disposable monthly income" relative to the median income in Florida.
You can trust the Orlando-area attorneys at Elkins & Elkins for reliable information about whether debt relief through bankruptcy is available and right for you. Please do not be deterred by myths and misconceptions that indicate qualifying for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is more difficult than it has been in the past. Get the debt relief counsel you need now, rather than struggling while your situation becomes worse.
