Free Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filings In Arizona

In Chapter 7 bankruptcy, debtors find relief regardless of whether the debt is solvent or insolvent. The debtor is not required to file a repayment plan, and is guided through the process by a bankruptcy trustee.

No repayment plan required
A trustee converts the debtor’s assets to cash for distribution
Covers credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans
Impacts the debtor’s credit score for 10 years
Debtor can apply for a mortgage within 2 years or less of filing bankruptcy

File For Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is used in specific circumstances including for debtors who have previously filed bankruptcy, those who earn more income than the mean income for the state of Arizona, or if the debtor wants to discharge marital debt.

Chapter 13 discharges debts that do not qualify in Chapter 7 bankruptcy
Beneficial for debtors facing aggressive student loan collectors
Debtors can keep non-exempt assets including rental home or equity
Requires a repayment plan to be submitted
Remains on the debtor’s credit record for 7 years
Ideal for those who have filed bankruptcy sometime in the previous 8 years

Frequently Asked Questions About Bankruptcy Law

What Is Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is an action taken by individuals who owe money to creditors and can no longer continue to make their payments. It liquidates most of their debts and restructures the remaining payment plan to give them a fresh start.

What Are The Requirements To File For Bankruptcy?

In order to file bankruptcy, your income must be less than the median income for Arizona for your family size, or you must pass the Means test. The Means test is based on your income and expenses, and uses a formula to determine who may qualify to file bankruptcy.

Will Filing For Bankruptcy Stay On My Public Record?

Bankruptcies are considered public record, but are not advertised. Anyone can call the court and ask if you have filed bankruptcy, but filings are not published in a newspaper for all to see. The only people notified of your bankruptcy are your creditors or anyone you choose to tell.

Is My Business Going To Be Affected If I File For Bankruptcy?

It depends on the type of business you own. Some corporations are independent of their owners, which means that a personal bankruptcy filing will not affect the business itself. However, it can affect a partnership claim. Discuss your concerns with your attorney!

Will Chapter 7 Or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Affect My Credit Score?

Yes, filing either type of bankruptcy will have a negative impact on your credit score. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit reports and affects your credit scores for 10 years, while a Chapter 13 bankruptcy affects your reports and scores for 7 years.

How Can I Avoid Losing My House Or Car During Bankruptcy?

In most situations, debtors who file bankruptcy will get to keep their house and vehicle if they are current with the loan payments. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will continue making payments on the house or car.

Which Assets Are Protected Under Bankruptcy Exemption Laws?

There are a variety of assets exempt from bankruptcy filings including retirement accounts, unemployment benefits, money earned after filing bankruptcy, money received for alimony and child support, personal items, household goods, wildcard exemptions, and property such as your house or car.

How Does Bankruptcy Stop Creditors From Contacting Me?

Once bankruptcy has been filed, the automatic stay goes into effect. This puts an immediate stop to all collections efforts including contact of any kind from creditors, wage garnishment, repossession, foreclosure, and more.

Will Filing For Bankruptcy Affect My Spouse & Family?

As long as your spouse is not a co-signer or legally liable for any of the debts involved in your bankruptcy claim, they will not be affected by you filing for bankruptcy. Their credit score will remain the same and the bankruptcy will not show on their credit reports.

Can Bankruptcy Filings Stop A Lawsuit?

Yes, the automatic stay goes into effect against all types of collections efforts. This includes most civil lawsuits. If you have a lawsuit filed against someone else at the same time your bankruptcy case is filed, the lawsuit will be considered an asset of your bankruptcy estate.
