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.

How Do I Know Chapter 7 Is Right For Me?
