Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 discharges most unsecured debts after non exempt assets are sold by a trustee. Chapter 13 requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. In California the means test determines which chapter you qualify for based on your median income for Kern County.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in California?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However you can start rebuilding credit soon after your discharge by using secured credit cards or small loans.
Can I keep my car or house if I file for bankruptcy in Bakersfield?
Yes you may keep your car and home if you can continue making payments and the equity is protected by California exemptions. The California homestead exemption can protect up to 300000 dollars of home equity. Your car equity may be protected under the motor vehicle exemption which covers up to 3300 dollars.
