Chapter 7 Ineligibility

Aurora Illinois Bankruptcy Lawyers & Attorneys

Jesse Barrientes: Okay. Let me ask you a couple of questions. We talked pretty much about Chapter 7 with an Aurora bankruptcy lawyer, but I have some ideas, same kind of scenario, but different chapter bankruptcy. You mentioned before in a Chapter 7 with the house, it can't have too much equity, and if there's money that I have owing and I want to keep the house, I'm going to have to pay that back, and I'm going to have to do all those other different kinds of things. If I don't have a balance between my allowable expenses and my income – that is to say if I have a balance left, then I'm not going to be able to do a Chapter 7, or if I make over a certain amount that they allow, I presume that I have to pay my creditors back, which would mean I couldn't do a Chapter 7 anyway, right?

David Siegel: Right.
