Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay debts and typically discharges remaining debts in 3 to 4 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a repayment plan over 3 to 5 years for individuals with regular income. Illinois exemptions allow you to protect certain property like your home and car up to specific dollar limits.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Illinois?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains 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 Lockport?
You may keep your house if you can continue making mortgage payments and the equity is covered by the Illinois homestead exemption. The Illinois homestead exemption allows you to protect up to $15,000 of equity in your primary residence. A lawyer can help you determine if your home is safe.
