How Chapter 7 Works

After you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Phoenix, your debts will be assigned to a trustee who may sell off your unprotected assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors. When the process is finished, the following debts will be wiped away:

The Property You’re Allowed to Keep

Under Arizona law, you’re permitted to hold on to property that is legally exempt from creditors. This includes:

  • Pensions
  • Social Security benefits
  • Unemployment compensation
  • Veteran’s benefits
  • Public assistance
  • Up to $400,000 in home equity
  • Up to $5,000 in one bank account
  • Up to $15,000 in car equity
  • Up to $15,000 in household goods
  • Up to $5,000 in tools needed for your work

The exemptions for automobile equity, household goods, bank account, and tools needed for your work are doubled when you file as a married couple.

You may also choose to keep secured debts such as your car, home, and furniture by reaffirming those debts.

Debts That Are Not Discharged Through Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

There are certain debts that you won’t be able to eliminate. Federal laws shield the following financial commitments from dismissal in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy:

  • Alimony
  • Child support
  • Student loans
  • Recent taxes
  • Legal fines and penalties
