What an affordable Chapter 7 wipes out
For most people, the fee wipes out the debts that cause the most stress: credit cards, medical bills, personal and payday loans, and old judgments. It also covers what is left on a car loan after a repossession. A few debts survive, such as support, most recent taxes and most student loans.
The math for a Bell household
Here is an example with made-up round numbers. Say you owe $15,000 on credit cards at 24% interest. That is about $300 a month in interest before you pay down a single dollar. For a Bell household at the city's median income, $300 is about 6% of a month's income before taxes, going to interest alone.
A simple Chapter 7 with us costs about $1,538 in attorney and court fees. In this example, that is about five months of interest payments, and the balance is gone at the end of the case.
Chapter 7 compared with settlement and consolidation
| Option | How long | Can creditors still sue? |
|---|---|---|
| Debt settlement | Often several years | Yes |
| Consolidation loan | Years of payments, with interest | Only if you fall behind |
| Chapter 7 | About four months | No, the automatic stay stops them |
Chapter 7 is not right for everyone. Read when you should not file bankruptcy before you decide.
Why Bell filers choose Chapter 7
A creditor who sues a Bell resident and wins a judgment can then garnish wages or levy a bank account. Debt settlement does not stop those lawsuits. A consolidation loan may not be available if your credit has already slipped. Chapter 7 stops the suits when you file and can wipe out most card and medical debt. For an attorney fee from $1,200 plus the court fee, that can be worth more than years of payments that never end.
