How much debt is required to file bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Although bankruptcy laws do not state how much or how little debt you must have, filing bankruptcy for less than $10K is, in my opinion, not a smart idea. You don't have to file bankruptcy to not pay your debts, and it could be very difficult to get you to pass the criteria for being eligible to file, which is "are you able to pay 25% of this debt off in 5 years?" That amounts to a payment of less than $42/month based on the numbers you provided. In addition, you are only eligible to obtain a bankruptcy discharge once every 8 years. What if you have a medical emergency a few months after you discharged this small amount of debt, leaving you in worse shape than you were in before?

Can a HELOC be discharged with chapter 7 bankruptcy?

John A Moffa
Answered by attorney John A Moffa (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Moffa & Breuer, PLLC
Right now the law is in a state of flux regarding HELOCs which are not secured at all. Depending on the outcome of a case currently pending in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, you might want to consider a Chapter 13 case which would strip the HELOC from the property. This is tricky and a highly experienced bankruptcy attorney should be able to help.

My wife and her mother co-signed for a Sears Master Card. My wife and I filed a chapter 7 with this Sears debt included. We live in Florida.

Unfortunatley she is still obligated regardless if you and your wife filed bankruptcy in Florida. Nevertheless, check and see if she is actually a cosigner or maybe just an authorized user. If mom is just an authorized user, she is not responsible. Is she is a cosigner, the debt still exists against her even though your wife released herself from the liability by filing bankruptcy.
