Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors, and it typically takes about 3 to 4 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. In California, you must pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in California?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. California law does not change these federal credit reporting periods.
