When you lose part of your income it can cripple your finances in just a few months. If you are living paycheck to paycheck you are not alone. Now think about 25% of your net income being taken away each month. What does not get paid? Or are you going to stop eating? There are no easy decisions and bankruptcy should be considered. That is where we can help. When someone files for bankruptcy protection an automatic stay takes effect. The automatic is a court order stopping collection actions including wage garnishment.
Once the bankruptcy case is complete the court will enter or sign the order discharging your debts including the lawsuit and judgment obtained against you. Filing bankruptcy will get rid of the problem once and for all.
The process of filing bankruptcy has become more complicated given the creation of the means test and the additional course requirements. There are two courses you must complete to file bankruptcy and then obtain a discharge of your eligible debts. Both course take approximately two to three hours and can be completed on the internet.
The means test must be completed in all consumer bankruptcy cases. To complete the means test we will need proof of your income for the six months prior to the filing of the bankruptcy case. Then certain standard deductions for living expenses, healthcare, family support, education expenses and transportation are deducted from your average income. The idea is that the means test will be able to determine if you have the ability to pay back a portion of your unsecured debts.
