Chapter 7 Eligibility

To qualify for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the debtor may be subject to the median / means test. In addition, an individual debtor is usually required to complete a credit counseling course from an approved credit counseling agency within 180 days before filing for bankruptcy.

One of the primary purposes of bankruptcy is to discharge certain debts to give an honest individual debtor a "fresh start." The debtor has no liability for discharged debts. Although an individual Chapter 7 case usually results in a discharge of debts, the right to a discharge is not absolute and some types of debts are not discharged. Moreover, a bankruptcy discharge does not extinguish a lien on property.

Aaron offers a complimentary half-hour phone consultation to discuss your case. For criminal issues, you can call 24 hours a day, and if needed, Aaron will meet you at jail or at the courthouse. In the Seattle, Tacoma and Everett areas of Washington, contact attorney Aaron Nielson regarding your bankruptcy or criminal defense case.
