Talk to a Nashville Bankruptcy Lawyer About Tennessee Bankruptcy Laws

A lawyer can explain how Tennessee bankruptcy laws may affect you. Call 877-349-1309 to connect today and read below for more bankruptcy information.

To qualify for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must satisfy three requirements:

• You must have a regular source of income that is considered to be "stable and regular." This assures the court that you would be able to meet the terms of your repayment plan.
  
• You must have enough disposable income. The law requires you must have enough income left over after your expenses to allow you to make your monthly payments in a timely fashion. Courts will often require you to submit a proposed budget to see if you can satisfy these requirements.
• Your debts must not be too high. If your secured debts exceed $1,081,400, you are not eligible for a Chapter 13. Also, your unsecured debts may not exceed $360,475. Unsecured debts are debts for which you have not pledged any of your property as collateral-, such as most credit card debt, personal loans and utility bills.
