Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts but requires you to pass a means test. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a repayment plan over three to five years and is often used if you have a steady income or want to keep property. An Illinois lawyer can explain which option fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Illinois?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply to all states including Illinois.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Illinois?
Yes you may keep your house if you have equity within the Illinois homestead exemption limit. As of 2024 the homestead exemption is up to $15,000 for a single person or $30,000 for a married couple filing jointly. Your lawyer can help you determine if your home is protected.
