Though there are stigmas attached to bankruptcy, most people come to the decision following some kind of major life event that makes a significant change in their income or financial status. These changes often include divorce, insurmountable medical bills, and unemployment. People who file for bankruptcy have generally attempted to get their bills under control, but finally have to face the facts when they receive foreclosure notices from their home lender or receive one too many call from a collection agency. Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can put an end to those calls and an automatic stay on all collection efforts, while Chapter 13 can provide the opportunity for you to keep your home as long as you can afford to start making your mortgage payments again.

Every bankruptcy is different because everybody’s financial situation is different. In Pennsylvania, one of the first steps involved in the process of filing for bankruptcy is to undergo a means test to determine the extent of your debt and what type of debt relief you are eligible for. This test will specifically look at your current income in order to determine whether you are able to pay off your debt over a period of time or whether you are better served by filing for Chapter 7, which discharges almost all debts. The court will look at a number of different factors in making this determination, including monthly expenses and income, as well as what the median income is for your state.  The results of this test will also help to determine what will happen to many of your assets and whether you need to liquidate them.
