Jordan Avery (fictional) filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Georgia on May 1, 2026, listing $48,000 in total unsecured debt — $28,000 in medical bills from an unexpected surgery in 2025 and $20,000 in credit card balances used to cover living expenses during recovery. Income of $3,800/month is well below the Georgia median of $68,478/year for a single-person household, placing this case in the standard below-median Chapter 7 track. The §341 meeting of creditors is first set for June 10, 2026. No cash advances within 70 days of filing, no insider preference payments, and no non-exempt assets were reported. All personal property and the vehicle are fully covered by Georgia exemptions.
Income of $3,800/month ($45,600 annualized) is well below the Georgia median of $68,478/year for a single-person household (UST table, effective April 1, 2026). The case falls into the below-median track under 11 U.S.C. § 707(b)(7) — the full means test calculation (Form 122A-2) is not required. Chapter 7 eligibility is clear. The 60-day objection window (FRBP 4004(a)) runs from the first date set for the §341 meeting (June 10, 2026), closing approximately ~August 9, 2026.
Key Considerations
One 2019 Honda Civic, value $4,200, no outstanding loan. Georgia's $5,000 vehicle exemption (O.C.G.A. § 44-13-100(a)(3)) fully covers the equity. No trustee action expected. Counsel should verify the exemption is properly claimed on Schedule C with the correct valuation methodology.
Georgia has opted out of the federal exemptions — only state exemptions apply (O.C.G.A. § 44-13-100). Jordan is a renter, so the unused homestead component of the wildcard ($1,200) is available for additional personal property. Confirm all household goods and electronics over $300/item have been reviewed.
$28,000 in medical bills is general unsecured debt with no applicable §523(a) exception. Confirm each medical creditor is properly listed with current addresses. Balances sold to collection agencies should be scheduled under the assignee, not the original provider.
$20,000 in credit cards used during medical recovery. No cash advances within 70 days (threshold: $1250). No luxury charges over $900 within 90 days. Charges were ordinary living expenses. No adversary proceeding risk on current intake.
Completion certificate (Official Form 423) must be filed within 45 days of the §341 meeting. The June 10, 2026 first-set date triggers a filing deadline of approximately July 25, 2026. This is the single most common reason an otherwise clean Chapter 7 discharge is delayed.
Timeline
June 10, 2026 — §341 Meeting of Creditors
The trustee examines Jordan under oath, verifies identity, and reviews the petition. In a clean below-median case with fully exempt assets, this meeting is typically brief. Trustee will likely indicate asset abandonment at or shortly after the meeting.
~July 25, 2026 — Debtor Education Certificate Deadline
Official Form 423 must be filed within 45 days of the §341 meeting. Confirm enrollment in a U.S. Trustee-approved provider for the applicable Georgia district.
~August 9, 2026 — 60-Day Objection Window Closes (FRBP 4004(a))
The window runs 60 days from the first date set for the §341 meeting (June 10, 2026). With no contested flags and no adversary proceedings expected, discharge order is anticipated within 2–3 weeks after the window closes.
~August 20–30, 2026 — Discharge Order
Discharge of all eligible debts — $28,000 in medical bills and $20,000 in credit card balances — is expected. No reaffirmation agreement needed (vehicle owned free and clear).
Post-Discharge — Credit File Cleanup
Pull all three credit bureau reports within 30 days. Verify each discharged account reflects $0 balance and "included in bankruptcy." Dispute any accounts still showing a balance — a federal right under the discharge injunction (11 U.S.C. § 524).
