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 your household size. For a single person the median income is around $60,000 but this amount changes periodically. If your income is higher you may need to file Chapter 13 instead.
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. This applies nationwide including in Illinois.
Can I keep my house if I file bankruptcy in Huntley Illinois?
Yes you may keep your home if you have equity within the Illinois homestead exemption which is up to $15,000 for a single person or $30,000 for a married couple filing jointly. If your equity is higher you might still keep the home by paying creditors through a Chapter 13 plan.
