Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts, but you may have to sell non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. California law requires you to 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. However, you can start rebuilding your credit soon after your case is discharged.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Woodland Hills?
Yes, you may be able to keep your house if you use the California homestead exemption. As of 2024, the exemption can protect up to $300,000 or more of your home equity, depending on your county and circumstances. Your lawyer can help you determine if your equity is fully protected.
