A creditor to get back his money soon he must have a better knowledge of how to file chapter 7 bankruptcy. Not every person can file a chapter 7 bankruptcy, there are some rules and regulation that people must follow before filing the chapter 7 bankruptcy in the bankruptcy court. The bankruptcy court has now included new bankruptcy laws to the bankruptcy code, so now it is compulsory for all the debtors to pass a means test before filing bankruptcy to the court. This test is a procedure, where you have to check your annual income and expenses, in order to see weather the money left after the deduction of the necessary expenses is sufficient to pay off the monthly installments of the various debts that you have. If the money after the deduction is less than your annual income you can get qualified for the chapter 7 bankruptcy.
