Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Sacramento
We've represented and helped thousands of individuals in the greater Sacramento area start new lives debt free by filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

- Gambling Debts
The truth is that filing bankruptcy can be the best resolution for burdensome or complicated debt issues for many individuals and families; in fact, over 240,000 Californians will file bankruptcy in 2019.
How Does Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Work?
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, individuals can discharge some or all of their debt if they meet California's qualifications.
Chapter 7 filers must allow the Bankruptcy Trustee to sell their “non-exempt assets” if they are too valuable to protect. By comparison, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows filers to maintain their valuable assets.
Do I Qualify for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
The bankruptcy means test measures your income and debt to determine whether you have enough available income to pay your creditors each month, albeit at a lower interest rate during a restructured payment plan .
Individuals can typically qualify for Chapter 7 if they have:
- low to moderate income
- a significant amount of debt
- a willingness to sell their valuable assets
How Long Does The Chapter 7 Process Take In California?
Everyone has different circumstances that can impact the approval process and the time it takes the Trustee to sell your non-exempt assets to settle your debt with creditors.
One of the benefits of working with Liviakis Law is that you will have our legal expertise and ability to leverage our experience with the debt relief process , getting you on your way to financial freedom sooner rather than later.
Can I Recover My Credit Rating After?
Many of our bankruptcy clients start to repair their credit scores within two years by responsibly using secured cards or loans.
While Chapter 7 bankruptcy will remain on your credit report for 10 years, you can offset negative marks with positive and consistent financial decisions.
At Liviakis Law, we are committed to helping our bankruptcy clients with the proper education and planning so that they can rebuild their credit and even go on to purchase a car or home.
How Do I Know Chapter 7 Is Right For Me?
Do not make the mistake of thinking that Chapter 7 is a cure-all. Several types of debt cannot be discharged and will remain due to creditors in full. Some types of debt that cannot be discharged or restructured under Chapter 7 include most student loans, child support, and mortgages.
