Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to discharge most debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. 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 stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. California follows the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act for these time limits.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Encino California?
