Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in Bossier City, LA: A Fresh Start
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is often the best option for individuals with limited income and high unsecured debt. When you qualify, your debts can be discharged, meaning eliminated, so that you can move forward without creditor harassment.
To be eligible, you must pass the means test, which compares your income to Louisiana’s median. If you are eligible, the process moves quickly, typically three to four months.
Benefits of Chapter 7:
- Ends most collection activity thanks to the automatic stay
- Discharges credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, and more
- Typically allows you to keep exempt assets, like your home or car
Our team will help you determine if Chapter 7 is right for you and ensure that all requirements are met, including working with a U.S. Trustee–approved agency for credit counseling and debtor education.
