The amount of your debt is not as significant (in terms of qualification) as are your income, regular expenses, and income history. Feel free to contact me directly by e-mail with specifics.

If you are going to file a chapter 7 you need to owe between $0.00 and infinity. If you are going to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may not owe more than approximately $300k unsecured debt and approximately $1,000,000 secured debt.
