As long as you owe greater than $1000, are unable to pay your debts as they become due, and the value of your property if sold would be insufficient to pay off all your debts.

So yes, you would qualify, but I recommend you discuss things with local trustee to determine if it is the best solution. For many it is, but often we find that avoiding a bankruptcy is possible and may be preferable depending on your situation.
