MEMORANDUM OPINION
ARTHUR B. FEDERMAN, Bankruptcy Judge.
The United States Trustee moved this Court to dismiss debtors’ Chapter 7 bankruptcy ease for substantial abuse. This is a core proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(A) over which the Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1334(b), 157(a), and 157(b)(1). For the reasons set forth below, I find that debtors have the ability to repay a significant portion of their debts in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Therefore, I will dismiss this Chapter 7 for substantial abuse, unless the debtors convert the case to Chapter 13.
