Benefits Of Filing Chapter 7
Beyond eliminating or minimizing your debt, Chapter 7 also allows you to:
- Stop creditors: When you file for bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect that bars your creditors from harassing or even contacting you for collection purposes.
- Stop garnishments and levies: By filing for Chapter 7, you can stop wage garnishments and bank levies. In some instances, you may even recover money that has already been garnished.
- Stay in your home: Even if your home is already in foreclosure, you may be able to remain in it up until the actual time of sale.
State and federal exemptions protect certain property in addition to real estates, such as clothes and furniture. We will protect your exempt property throughout the bankruptcy process.

Chapter 7 has specific filing requirements and not everyone qualifies to file under Chapter 7. If you do not qualify for Chapter 7 due to the means test, we can still help you file Chapter 13, otherwise known as ‘wage earner’s bankruptcy,’ which can also effectively provide real debt relief and a fresh financial start.
