Not necessarily. You need to qualify through a means test. If you live in LA county call me for details.

Good luck

Much of what people "hear" about bankruptcy these days is simply incorrect. 150% of the poverty level is the highest your Current Monthly Income can be to qualify for a waiver of the $299 filing fee. It has nothing to do with qualifying for Chapter 7, which you may do if your CMI is below the median income in California for your family size.
