I’m Unemployed, Can I File a Chapter 7 or 13 Bankruptcy?
Often-times, we get contacted by folks who are not working and they ask us if they should file a bankruptcy. If you’re not working temporarily, it’s usually a good idea to look at filing a bankruptcy because there are income tests involved in a bankruptcy and the lack of employment and the lack of income can help you get past those income tests. On the other hand, if your unemployment is going to be long-term especially if there are other difficulties in your life like medical problems that are ongoing then it might be a good idea for you to wait to file for bankruptcy. Either way, we can let you know what the best option to take is in a free consultation. We’d be happy to meet with you, go over your situation, make sure that bankruptcy is the right thing to do and figure out if now is the time to do it. Get in touch with us as soon as you can for a free consultation. Please give us a call today at 317-759-1483.
