Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Chapter 7 bankruptcy take in Los Alamitos?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. You must complete a credit counseling course before filing and a debtor education course after filing. The process includes a meeting of creditors, usually held in Santa Ana or Los Angeles.
What is the California means test for bankruptcy?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a California household of your size. If your income is below the median, you likely qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you may need to file Chapter 13 and repay some debts through a 3 to 5 year plan.
Can I keep my car if I file bankruptcy in California?
You may keep your car if you use the California motor vehicle exemption, which protects up to a certain amount of equity. For 2024, the exemption is $3,325 for one vehicle. If your equity exceeds that limit, you may need to pay the difference or surrender the vehicle.
