Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Florida?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay creditors and typically discharges debts in 3 to 6 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for those with regular income who want to keep their property and catch up on missed payments.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Florida?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years from the filing date. You can start rebuilding credit immediately after discharge.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy in Edgewater?
Florida law provides generous exemptions. You can protect your homestead with no value limit, up to 160 acres in a county or half an acre in a city. For a vehicle, you can exempt up to $1,000 of equity, or up to $4,000 if you do not use the homestead exemption.
