7Reset is a self-help legal document preparation service and is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by using this service. The information, tools, and documents provided through 7Reset are for general informational and self-help purposes only.
Individuals have the legal right to file bankruptcy on their own behalf ("pro se") without an attorney. 7Reset assists with that process by providing guided form completion tools and educational information only.
If you have complex legal questions specific to your individual situation — including unusual assets, business debts, ongoing litigation, or prior bankruptcy filings — we strongly recommend consulting a licensed bankruptcy attorney in your state before filing.
Use of this service does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.

Can I keep my car if I file Chapter 7?
In most cases, yes! If you're current on your payments and your equity falls within your state's exemption limit, you can keep it by reaffirming the debt. I'll walk you through this right in the wizard.
Will I lose my bank account?
Most filers protect their funds using state "wildcard" exemptions. In your filing we'll identify exactly which exemptions apply and flag anything that needs attention before you file.
Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know
No. Individuals have the legal right to file bankruptcy "pro se" — on their own behalf — without an attorney. 7Reset provides all the tools, forms, and guidance to do exactly that.
You must pass the "means test," which compares your income to your state's median income. Our built-in means test calculator runs this automatically and tells you instantly whether you qualify.
Filing with 7Reset takes as little as 20 minutes. Once filed, most cases receive a discharge in 3–6 months. The automatic stay stops collections immediately upon filing.
Most Chapter 7 filers are "no-asset" cases — meaning they keep all property through exemptions. Our wizard identifies every exemption available to protect your assets.
Credit cards, medical bills, personal loans, and most unsecured debt can be discharged. Student loans and recent tax debts typically cannot. We clearly flag non-dischargeable debts in your filing.
No problem. Your progress is saved automatically at every step. Pick up exactly where you left off on any device, any time. Your information is securely stored until your packet is complete.
7Reset walks you through every question with plain-English prompts and built-in guidance — it's designed to prevent errors before they happen. You can save your progress and review everything before you download.
A Chapter 7 filing appears on your credit report for up to 10 years. Your score will dip initially — but most filers see improvement within 12–24 months as discharged balances are removed and their debt load drops. For people already behind on payments, facing judgments, or dealing with wage garnishment, the credit impact of filing is often less damaging than the ongoing record of missed payments and collections.
The phone stops ringing the day you file.
Every call, every letter, every garnishment — paused by federal law the moment your petition is submitted. It takes about 20 minutes. You know how it works. Start now.
