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 El Segundo 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 El Segundo household at the city's median income, $300 is about 2% 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
- Debt settlement can take years, charges fees, and forgiven debt may be reported to the IRS as income. Creditors can still sue while you save.
- A consolidation loan needs good credit and still has to be paid back in full, with interest.
- Chapter 7 stops collection the day it is filed and usually ends with a discharge in about four months.
Chapter 7 is not right for everyone. Read when you should not file bankruptcy before you decide.
Why El Segundo filers choose Chapter 7
On a high income, it can be tempting to take a consolidation loan or a 401(k) loan to clear cards. Those choices keep the full debt in place, and a 401(k) loan turns protected retirement money into payments to creditors. Chapter 7, when you qualify, wipes out credit cards and personal loans for a starting price of about $1,538, which is about 1% of El Segundo's median yearly income. A renter paying $2,556 a month can put the money that went to minimums toward rent and savings instead. Our Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 13 guide shows when the other chapter gives more value.
