Bankruptcy

For a brief overview of the bankruptcy process view this video. Please note that I am not affiliated with the legal aid society of Kentucky and the video is presented for informational purpose only.

A chapter 7 bankruptcy allows individuals and couples to obtain a fresh start by discharging their personal responsibility to pay a wide range of consumer debts. Debtors can file bankrupty to remove the financial burden of credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, apartment lease debt and repossession deficiencies.

In order to file a chapter 7 in Maryland, you have to qualify based on the median income of your household. The U.S. Trustee’s office issues the median income per each household in every state on a quarterly basis. Looking at median income is a good starting point for determining your eligibility to file a chapter 7. More often than not, if your income is below the median income for your household you can file a chapter 7 and receive a discharge. If your income is higher you have to pass the means test to qualify for a chapter 7.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Is your income higher than the median income, but you are still struggling to pay your bills? Do you need to stop a foreclosure sale of your home and pay the arrears over time? A chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you. Consisting of a 3 0r 5 year payment plan, chapter 13 bankruptcy allows debtors to reorganize their financial affairs.

Once again, debtors have to contend with the median income guidelines and means test. In chapter 13 bankruptcy, the means test calculation produces your disposable monthly income. While not required by statute, it is often the chapter 13 trustee’s position that every penny of the disposable monthly income should be paid to creditors through the plan.

For those who earn less than the median income then your plan can be 3 years. For high income earners, you are limited to a 5 year plan unless you are paying 100% of the debt. As a Baltimore bankruptcy lawyer, I have helped numerous individuals and couples save their homes from foreclosure and pay the mortgage arrears over time.
