How to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Online
You file personal bankruptcy online by filing a bankruptcy petition along
with a series of schedules numbering from A to J and various
required statements. Under the
new bankruptcy law enacted in
2005, if your are filing
chapter 7 bankruptcy, you also need to pass a bankruptcy means test. The filing of
ones bankruptcy online denotes that the preparation of the documents
are done online. Online bankruptcy entails that you submit the
information required for your bankruptcy through an online
bankruptcy questionnaire. The finished documents are sent to you by
email or by an online download.
Comparison of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcies
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is intended to discharge debts wherein you
never have to pay them back again. In contrast, chapter 13
bankruptcy involves paying back your creditors, particularly the
secured creditors.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy also requires a bankruptcy means test to
show you qualify.
Online Bankruptcy and The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Means Test
The means test is required for
personal
chapter 7 bankruptcy filing where the
debtor is a natural person and this applies to online bankruptcy
preparation. It is intended to determine if you
qualify under the BAPCPA act which supposedly tries to prevent
abusive bankruptcy filing. The truth though is the new
bankruptcy
law favors the credit card companies and was written by them. In any
case, if you
pass the
online personal chapter 7 bankruptcy means test then you
qualify to have your debts discharged. This is of significance in
chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. There is the equivalent of a means test
for chapter 13 in so much as the that the calculations are very
similar. However it is not called a bankruptcy means test for
chapter 13 bankruptcies.
Preparing the Online Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Forms
Preparing the
personal
online bankruptcy forms needed for filing a
chapter
7 bankruptcy is a daunting task. Before you begin to panic, that is
our bad news, not yours. For one, the man-hours needed to put
together the 6 page
personal bankruptcy means test document can be
compared to that need to prepare two or three
complete personal
bankruptcies under the old laws.
On top of that, the new bankruptcy law has caused a typical
personal bankruptcy
forms set to balloon from about 23 to 35 pages under the old law to
about 50 to 75 pages under the new chapter 7
bankruptcy law.
In the past, a lot of people hacked away at their own
personal
bankruptcies inch by inch, week after week, until it was done, but
with the new laws, that is a thing of the past. Now you must have
your documents prepared online professionally by a full-service company.
The advantages of having your personal chapter 7 bankruptcy all done online is that with online bankruptcy you can work at your own pace. You
gather your bankruptcy information at your own pace and you submit
it to us online at your own pace.
Because of the burdens of the new law, many
chapter 7 bankruptcy attorney's
have doubled their prices just to make it worth their while. With
our
online bankruptcy service, you pay one low fee, no matter how
complicated your case is.
In a long distance conversation the other day, one of
the lowest
priced personal bankruptcy attorneys in Austin confirmed that they
had raised their price from $595 to $1595 because of the paperwork.
None of this need bother you because we take all the responsibility
of preparing the paperwork on ourselves.
You fill out our 20 minute online bankruptcy questionnaire and we get all of
the mountains of paperwork done so that all you do is sign your name
and file.

State Specific Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Resources
As we mentioned earlier, there are state specific
bankruptcy exemptions that you must be aware of. Since the largest states are
California, Texas and Florida, you will find these bankruptcy exemption sites
useful.
California bankruptcies are marked by their use of two separate bankruptcy
exemption schemes, System 1 and System 2. If you are filing in bankruptcy in
California, do not fail to examine the differences.
Texas bankruptcies filings are know for their robust
Texas
bankruptcy Exemptions. They have the most generous bankruptcy exemptions for
chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Bankruptcy exemptions are particularly pertinent to
personal bankruptcy filing.
Florida bankruptcy filing is perhaps that largest contributor to bankruptcy
filing in the United States. Florida bankruptcies have good exemptions like
Texas and California bankruptcies. If you live in some of the other large states
then topics such as

bankruptcy filing in Illinois, dealing with
online bankruptcies in Ohio and
Pennsylvania bankruptcy will be of interest.
