Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges most unsecured debts after a trustee sells non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. In California your choice may depend on your income level and the value of your assets.
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 law does not change these federal credit reporting time limits.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Walnut Creek?
You may keep your house if you have equity covered by the California homestead exemption. The exemption amount is up to $300,000 for some homeowners depending on county median sale prices. A lawyer can help you determine if your home is protected.
