Household Size on Bankruptcy Means Test

The quickest and easiest way to understand why you care about “household size” is to think about the Means Test as a budget.  With the Means Test, the larger the “household size” the greater the amount of money you can set aside for living expenses.  The more you get for living expenses, the less you have left over for creditors.   If you have very little left over, then you increase your chances of qualifying for a Chapter 7 debt discharge.  If, on the other hand,  you have “too much” income left over and available for creditors, then you might not qualify for a Chapter 7; you might have t

People Don’t Understand Bankruptcy

I cannot say that I am surprised about the result of a recent poll of budget-conscious consumers conducted by the ACCC. The financial education group’s finding is that the vast majority of Americans do not understand the bankruptcy process. I am not surprised because all too often clients who come in to our bankruptcy law offices are shocked that they have needlessly suffered for years on end when they could have simply followed a few simple steps and gotten a fresh start years before they came in though our doors. All too often it takes the urging of family and friends.

Pay Day Loans and Bankruptcy

A Payday Loan is a small loan that at least in theory, is paid off by the borrower’s next payday. The mechanics of the loan process are as follows: You go to the Payday Lender and give the lender some proof of employment, maybe a copy of your most recent pay stub, and then write a post-dated check to the lender for the amount that you want to borrow plus the fee  for the amount they borrow.  The lender then gives you the loan amount and agrees to hold your post-dated check until your next payday.
