Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay debts and typically takes 3 to 4 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. In California, you must use state or federal exemptions to protect property like your home or car.
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. This is a federal rule under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which applies in California.
