Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Maryland?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Maryland allows you to discharge most unsecured debts by liquidating non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a repayment plan over 3 to 5 years, allowing you to keep your property while paying creditors a portion of what you owe.
What property can I keep in a Maryland bankruptcy?
Maryland allows you to use either state or federal exemptions to protect property. State exemptions let you keep up to $6,000 of equity in a vehicle and up to $5,500 of household goods. Federal exemptions may offer different protections, so a lawyer can help you choose the best option.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Maryland?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However, you can start rebuilding your credit immediately after your case is discharged.
