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 most debts are discharged in about 4 to 6 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. California law determines which assets you can keep under each chapter.
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 does not have a separate law that changes this federal reporting period.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in La Puente?
You may be able to keep your home if you have enough equity to use the California homestead exemption. As of 2024, the exemption is up to $300,000 for most homeowners and up to $600,000 for seniors or disabled individuals. A lawyer can help you calculate your equity and exemptions.
