How Do I Qualify for Chapter 13?

Any individual, including self-employed individuals, may file for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 of the U.S. bankruptcy code as long as their secured and unsecured debts are below a certain level. This amount will vary periodically to reflect changes in the consumer price index, and therefore it is important to find out what the level is at the time you are considering filing.

There are certain things which will result in a disqualification from being able to file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. A prior bankruptcy petition that was dismissed because of the debtor’s willful failure to appear in court or due to a voluntary dismissal, within the past 180 days, will result in an ineligibility to file under Chapter 13. Additionally, a debtor must receive credit counseling from an approved agency in order to file.
