Is there a possibility of my case being dismissed when filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
Yes, there is a possibility that your case could be dismissed when filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in New Hampshire. This could happen if you fail to meet certain requirements of the bankruptcy process. In order to be eligible for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, you must qualify for a “means test” and prove to the court that you cannot pay your debts. If you do not meet this requirement, your case could be dismissed and your debts would remain unpaid. In addition, if the court finds out that you have attempted fraud or have hidden certain assets or income, your case could be dismissed. This is why it is important to provide accurate and truthful information when filing for bankruptcy. If you fail to comply with the bankruptcy court’s orders or if you fail to attend the creditors’ meeting, your case could also be dismissed. Therefore, it is important to work closely with your attorney and to abide by the court’s orders. Finally, if you have filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in the past and it was dismissed due to one of the aforementioned reasons, you will not be able to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in the state of New Hampshire again. In such cases, you must file for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy instead.
