What is a Bad Faith Bankruptcy? Understanding Why Some Bankruptcy Cases Get Dismissed or Discharge Revoked for Bad Faith Bankruptcy is meant to offer individuals and businesses a chance at a fresh start by alleviating financial burdens. However, the concept of bad faith dismissal or revocation of discharge introduces a layer of complexity, questioning the sincerity of those seeking relief. In this article, we’ll explore the intricate world of bad-faith dismissal or revocation of the discharge in bankruptcy, understanding the implications and factors that come into play. What’s a Bad Faith Dismissal or Revocation of Discharge? Bad faith dismissal or revocation of the discharge occurs when a bankruptcy case is terminated due to the debtor’s perceived lack of honesty or sincerity in seeking relief. This notion raises important questions about the true intentions behind a bankruptcy filing. The courts closely examine various factors to determine whether a debtor is genuinely seeking financial recovery or attempting to manipulate the system.

FAQs

Is Bankruptcy right for me?

Bankruptcy is not for everyone. The decision to file for bankruptcy must be informed by a number of different factors, which includes your income/expenses, assets, debts, urgency (such as a pending foreclosure or garnishments) and your ability to repay your debts outside of bankruptcy. An experienced bankruptcy attorney can evaluate your circumstances and help you decide whether bankruptcy is right for you.

What is a Bankruptcy Discharge?

A bankruptcy discharge is the end goal of almost all case filings. This is the point in your case where the bankruptcy Judge assigned in your case signs an general Order declaring that your debts are wiped out. Discharges are general in nature so they will not specially dictate which debts were wiped. However, your attorney will explain to you that debts like credit cards, medical, evictions, repossessions, pay day loans, utility bills and other debts are eligible to be discharged. Some common examples of debts that cannot be wiped in a discharge include student loans, domestic support obligations, government fines/penalties and most tax debts.

Will I need to attend Court?

In virtually every case the debtor will need to appear at a hearing called a section 341 meeting of creditors. Section 341 refers to the section of the bankruptcy code that requires that this hearing take place. At that hearing you will need to present your ID and proof of your Social Security Number. Debtors will be sworn in and asked questions by the trustee while under oath. All creditors are also invited to appear to question the debtor, however creditors rarely show up at this meeting. Other situations may arise in your case requiring your appearance before the Judge or other hearings. However, this is more of the exception rather than the rule.

How much does it cost to file for bankruptcy?

If you feel confident enough in your own ability to navigate the quagmire of bankruptcy laws, then your main cost will be the Court filing fee. If you want to make certain that your case is handled the right way, then we highly recommend hiring an experienced attorney to file for bankruptcy. Attorney fees run an average of $1700 for a basic Chapter 7 filing. At our firm we strive to make access to legal representation affordable to all. Our fees for a Chapter 7 cases will start at $695, with affordable payment plans available to fit any budget. For full details on the fees and costs at our firm, click here.
