Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Massachusetts you must pass the means test which compares your income to the state median. For a single earner the median income is around 70000 as of 2024. If your income is above the median you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Massachusetts?
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 in all states including Massachusetts.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Wilmington MA?
Massachusetts offers a homestead exemption that protects up to 500000 of equity in your primary residence. If your equity is below this amount you can likely keep your home in a Chapter 7 case. Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on missed mortgage payments over time.
