Bankruptcy – Chapter 7

Get help toward a fresh start to your new financial life with Chapter 7 in Wisconsin. Maxwell Attorneys LLC are ready to help you.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is sometimes referred to a “fresh start” bankruptcy because you will normally discharge or wipe out all your outstanding debt. Debt that is commonly eliminated in a Chapter 7 case includes:

  • Credit card debt
  • Medical bills
  • Personal loans
  • Payday loans
  • Signature loans
  • Department store cards
  • Balances owed on cars that were surrendered or repossessed.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy does not eliminate all debt:

  • Secured loans on your home or your car won’t be eliminated if you want to keep that property.
  • Recent tax debt
  • Child Support or Alimony
  • Student loans
  • Fines or municipal tickets

Under the new bankruptcy laws passed by Congress in 2005, in order to qualify to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you must pass an income “means test.” Also, you may only file a Chapter 7 case once every 8 years.
