Changes in the New Bankruptcy Law

In 2005, Congress totally revamped the country's bankruptcy system. There are many pitfalls in the new system that can lead to real problems. The best way to avoid them is to choose an experienced bankruptcy attorney who can help you understand your options, and your obligations, under the law.

  • All debtors are now required to get credit counseling before they can file for bankruptcy.
  • Some debtors with higher incomes are no longer allowed to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
  • A person's eligibility for Chapter 7 is based, in part, on his or her median income as set by the IRS. If you are under the median level, there is an assumption that you are not abusing the system. Above the level triggers a complex formula to determine your options.
  • A person filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection must show proof of income by providing federal income tax returns for the previous years, as well as pay stubs and other income sources.
  • The new law makes additional demands of lawyers. For example, lawyers must personally vouch for the accuracy of all the information their clients give them.
