The endgame in an individual bankruptcy case is a discharge of debts. It is possible to file for bankruptcy more than once. The question is whether you can seek a discharge if you file bankruptcy again. The 2-4-6-8 rule is an easy way to determine if a case will be eligible for discharge.

The bankruptcy means test is used to determine the amount of monthly income available to pay creditors in an individual case. It is often misconstrued by debtors as a simple question of gross income. However, there are other factors in the analysis that can help a debtor qualify to file a Chapter 7 case. An experienced bankruptcy attorney will know how to properly complete the test, including tips for special situations.

Contact us today for a FREE Consultation to discuss how the means test could apply to your eligibility to file a case.

How much income can be seized with a wage garnishment?

Wage garnishments are governed by state law. In Illinois, a garnishment cannot be more than 15% of a debtor's gross income before taxes or deductions. In addition, the withholding cannot be greater than 45 times the Illinois minimum weekly wage. There are also several types of public or government income excluded from garnishment.

Contact us today to discuss your options if you have a wage garnishment.

Did you know that student loan debt was dischargeable in bankruptcy prior to 1976?

Then, in 1987 the Supreme Court established the three-prong Brunner Test to determine whether a sufficient financial hardship existed to be eligible for discharge in bankruptcy. Thereafter, there were several attempts to make student loan debt dischargeable in specific fact situations. This was the case until 2005. Then, Congress reformed federal bankruptcy law and made it clear that student loan debt is NOT dischargeable in bankruptcy, unless the Brunner test is met.

If you are struggling, bankruptcy can be an option to help manage student loan debt repayment. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your options.

It is and the topic this week is INCOME.

The level of household income is a key factor to determine if an individual debtor can file a Chapter 7 case. The bankruptcy “means test” is the analysis used to determine the level of household income in all individual debtor cases.

Therefore, it is important to properly calculate, identify, categorize, and adjust all sources of household income in the means test. A simple error can result in a Chapter 13 case with 60 months of payments, instead of a Chapter 7 case where nearly all unsecured debt may be discharged after 90 days.

Contact us today to learn more about how the means test would apply to your situation. We offer FREE video, phone, and office consultations.
