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 creditors and can discharge most unsecured debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income and allows you to keep more property. Illinois law sets specific income limits for Chapter 7 eligibility.
What property can I keep in a Round Lake Beach bankruptcy?
Illinois allows you to choose between state and federal exemptions. State exemptions protect up to 15000 dollars in home equity and up to 2400 dollars in vehicle equity. Federal exemptions may protect more personal property depending on your situation.
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. Illinois law does not change these federal reporting time limits.
