Yes, You Can Still File Bankruptcy
There has been a lot of misinformation about the new bankruptcy laws that were passed in 2005. Contrary to what you may have heard, many people suffering from an unmanageable debt load can obtain relief through Chapter 7 bankruptcy. For people who are not eligible for Chapter 7 relief, Chapter 13 is frequently an available alternative.
The following is a list of bankruptcy myths that are not true:
- You cannot discharge credit card debts as a result of the new laws
- You cannot discharge medical debts as a result of the new laws
- It is almost impossible to obtain a Chapter 7 bankruptcy
- Tax debts can never be discharged

Am I Eligible for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Pursuant to the new bankruptcy laws, people who seek Chapter 7 relief must pass an economic means test. Unfortunately, many people mistakenly assume that they will not pass the means test and choose not to contact an attorney as a result.
In reality, many people can and do meet the eligibility requirements for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Moreover, most people who are not eligible for Chapter 7 relief are eligible for Chapter 13 relief or other debt relief assistance.
