Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy can I file in Covington?
Individuals in Covington most often file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 liquidates assets to pay debts, while Chapter 13 creates a repayment plan over three to five years. Businesses may also file Chapter 11 for reorganization.
What is the means test for Kentucky bankruptcy?
The means test compares your income to the Kentucky median income for your household size. If your income is below the median, you qualify for Chapter 7. If above, you may need to file Chapter 13. A lawyer can help calculate this using Kentucky specific data.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Kentucky?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays 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 in Kentucky and all other states.
