I suggest that you consult with an attorney to discuss the specific details of your situation to ensure eligibility, that this is the proper chapter for you and to ensure that all debts are included all exemptions are made.

Please do not take this wrong, but you should go to an attorney. It is complicated and most people who file without representation (pro se) make mistakes that cost more to fix than it would have to hire counsel. Also, by hiring counsel, you have someone with you at the 341 Meeting and can make sure things go properly.

There are a minimum of 51 pages of information that must be filled out in the most simple of bankruptcy. Please understand that filing for bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step. Most Arizona bankruptcy attorneys offer a free consultation about the basics of bankruptcy.

You must first qualify to file a Chapter 7 BKY under the MEANS TEST (Form 22A) ......... if you do qualify, then you can file the Chapter.
