Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Illinois?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Illinois you must pass the means test which compares your income to the state median. For a single person the median income is about 65000 per year as of 2024. If your income is higher you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
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. Illinois does not have its own credit reporting laws so federal rules apply.
Can I keep my house if I file bankruptcy in Des Plaines?
Illinois allows you to protect up to 15000 of equity in your home under the homestead exemption. If you have more equity than that you may lose the house in Chapter 7. Chapter 13 lets you catch up on missed mortgage payments over 3 to 5 years.
