In Illinois, Chapter 7 eligibility requires that one must not be able to pay at least $6,000 over the next five years, or $100 per month, to unsecured creditors after expenses. Chapter 7 will likely be denied if one can pay at least $10,000 over five years, or over $166.67 per month.

If one can pay unsecured creditors between $6,000 - $10,000 over five years, then Chapter 7 will be decided by a mathematical calculation. If one can afford to pay 25% or more of the unsecured debt, then a Chapter 7 will likely be denied. If one can't afford to pay 25% of the unsecured debt, Chapter 7 filing will likely be successful.
