wage garnishment or other collection action. Under Chapter 7 Bankruptcy all creditor action

bankruptcy attorney can assist you.

income is less than the median income in your area of a family your size,
you automatically pass the means test. If your income is over the median
amount, you may still quality as determined by a formula in which your
income and expenses are considered.
When you file for Chapter 7 all unsecured debts are discharged. There are
some exceptions including debts acquired due to fraud, student loans,
taxes and some others. As far as secured obligations such as your car
loan or home loan, you are asked whether you want to choose to keep the
property or release it. If you choose to keep the property, you must reaffirm
the debt and maintain the payments.
Property You May Keep
You may keep property which is exempt from execution in your state. With
some limitations, this generally includes furniture, kitchenware, appliances,
clothes, wedding rings, tools, a modest car and home equity up to a certain
amount. The remaining non-exempt property may be taken by the bankruptcy
