    Bankruptcy Means Test and Credit Counseling

    We have our application in to EOUST and expect to be approved in Region
    2 as a Credit Counselor (not later than 270 days).


    Check out our Means Test





    ALL filers must complete parts I, II, III, and VII of the B22 form and
    MUST submit a B22A form for Chapter 7 or a B22C Form for Chapter 13. In
    other words, the means test is required for EVERYONE even if you are
    under the median. If you are over the median you must complete the
    WHOLE test and file Chapter 13.


    Our program takes your input and automatically generates a B22A for
    printing. There is no charge to use our test. Once we are approved as a
    Credit Counselor there will be a charge only in our region, and the
    charge for the briefing and the test will be approved by the UST in
    compliance with a "reasonable fee".


    There will be MANY revisions of this program over the next couple of
    weeks.


    Once our test is completely finished it will be in FULL compliance with
    the official form B22. If you are an attorney outside of our region who
    is using this form it is up to you to be in compliance with the
    ACCURACY of the debtor's income.


    In our region we will verify the ACCURACY of the info or the debtor
    will not receive a certificate of completion.


    The UST is requiring that an adequate briefing be 90 minutes. Many of
    the quickie "internet only" programs may be unacceptable. Our
    application carefully details a VERY COMPLETE and ADEQUATE briefing.


    It will be interesting to see how Credit Counselors will handle the
    volume outside their regions. The reason I am saying this is that the
    UST made it VERY clear that they will judge the various programs for
    their effectiveness and therefore, the "internet only quickie version"
    done directly from the Attorney's office may not fly as being adequate
    or effective. The debtors might be required to talk to the counselors
    by phone or to attend classes. ie: the UST wants a personal touch.
