Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Canton Georgia?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges most unsecured debts after selling non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. Georgia law limits Chapter 7 eligibility based on a means test comparing your income to the state median.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Georgia?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. Georgia follows federal credit reporting rules for these time limits.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy in Canton?
You may keep your house and car if you can continue payments and the equity is within Georgia exemption limits. Georgia allows a homestead exemption of up to 21,500 dollars and a vehicle exemption of up to 5,000 dollars. An attorney can help you calculate your exempt equity.
