Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Indiana?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay creditors, and most debts are discharged after about 3 to 4 months. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. Indiana requires you to pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Indiana?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However, you can begin rebuilding credit soon after discharge.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Dyer, Indiana?
Indiana allows you to exempt up to $22,900 of equity in your home under state law, or you may choose federal exemptions which offer a higher homestead exemption. A lawyer can help you determine which exemption set protects your property best.
